Chocolate truffles are a deeply indulgent chocolate treat made from chocolate and cream. They’re essentially balls of chocolate ganache. And great news: they sound so much fancier than they are to make! If you’re making these around Valentine’s Day, I love coating them in pink and red sprinkles.
Can chocolate truffles be frozen?
No, I would not recommend freezing chocolate truffles. Luckily, ganache is microbially very stable, so truffles will last in the fridge for up to a month.
What do I do if my ganache separates?
It can happen to the best of us. Maybe the cream was too hot or the chocolate ratio was off, or maybe you stirred too vigorously or too much… Sometimes ganache splits. When this happens, add a little bit of cold cream (maybe half a teaspoon at a time) and stir again until it becomes glossy. This will help pull the cocoa solids back into the liquid phase and re-emulsify the mixture.
