Tips:
- Mise en Place: Before you start making the truffles, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and prevent any mishaps.
- Use High-Quality Chocolate: The quality of your chocolate will have a big impact on the final product. Use the best chocolate you can afford, and make sure it is at least 70% cacao.
- Temper Your Chocolate: Tempering your chocolate is a crucial step that will help to stabilize it and give it a smooth, glossy finish. If you don't temper your chocolate, it will be more likely to seize or become grainy.
- Use Heavy Cream: Heavy cream is essential for making truffles. It helps to create a smooth, creamy ganache. If you use milk or half-and-half, your truffles will be less rich and flavorful.
- Chill Your Truffles: After you have formed your truffles, chill them in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before coating them in chocolate. This will help them to firm up and hold their shape.
- Be Patient: Making truffles takes time and patience. Don't rush the process, or you will end up with subpar results.
