\"Chocolate<\/div>\r\n

Using the wrong chocolate<\/h2>\r\nIt's tempting to use the chocolate chips you have in the pantry, but they'll make poor-quality truffles. Even the best chocolate chips<\/a> and semi-sweet chocolate bars contain stabilizers and emulsifiers (like soy lecithin) that help them maintain their shape. Instead, look for high-quality baking chocolate that's at least 60% cocoa.\r\n\r\n\r\n
\"Making<\/div>\r\n

Ignoring the proper chocolate-to-cream ratio<\/h2>\r\nTraditional truffles<\/a> are made from ganache\u2014melted chocolate combined with heavy cream\u2014so it's important to use a 2:1 ratio of chocolate to cream. Since they have different volumes, we recommend weighing the ingredients<\/a> to make sure you get it just right.\r\n\r\nLooking for an easier truffle recipe<\/a>? Just make them with sweetened condensed milk instead.\r\n\r\n\r\n
\"Chopped<\/div>\r\n

Not chopping the chocolate enough<\/h2>\r\nWe make chocolate truffles<\/a> by pouring heated cream over chopped chocolate, so it's important to chop the chocolate small enough so that it melts quickly. Large chunks of chocolate will melt slowly and unevenly, which can create texture issues in the finished chocolate truffle<\/a>. The chopping process might be messy, but trust us. It's worth it.\r\n\r\n\r\n
\"Pouring<\/div>\r\n

Heating the cream to the wrong temperature<\/h2>\r\nThere's a fine line between over- and under-heated cream here. If the cream is boiling, it will cause the cocoa butter to separate from the chocolate, turning the truffles<\/a> greasy. Of course, it needs to be hot enough to melt the chocolate, so too-cool cream won't get the job done either. We like to bring the cream to a simmer and let it sit off the heat for three to five minutes to ensure it's just right.\r\n\r\n\r\n
\"Handmade<\/div>\r\n

Going overboard with the flavorings<\/h2>\r\nWe're all about adding a little vanilla extrac<\/a>t to our truffles, but it's important not to go crazy. The reason truffles taste so good is because they're simple and pure, so save the flavorings for the truffle's exterior.\r\n\r\n\r\n
\"Young<\/div>\r\n

Trying to scoop before the ganache cools<\/h2>\r\nAfter the chocolate has melted, you'll need to let the ganache cool before scooping it into balls. Otherwise, the process is extremely messy! Spoon the chocolate into a shallow pan (like a casserole dish), and the ganache will be easy to scoop into tablespoon-sized rounds after about 30 minutes in the fridge.\r\n\r\n\r\n
\"Young<\/div>\r\n

Not rolling the truffles in toppings<\/h2>\r\nThere's nothing wrong with the flavor of pure chocolate, but the truffles will dry out if you don't coat the exterior. Try rolling the truffles in cocoa powder (or dipping them in tempered chocolate) for a chocolate-only experience. Of course, you shouldn't be afraid to experiment here. Nuts, sprinkles, shredded coconut and crushed cookies are all yummy upgrades.\r\n\r\n\r\n
\"High<\/div>\r\n

Serving truffles straight out of the fridge<\/h2>\r\nA good truffle melts in your mouth as you eat it, but that's not possible if it comes straight out of the fridge. Let them come to room temperature for about an hour before serving. Any longer than that, though, and they may melt in your fingers before you have a chance to eat them!\r\n\r\n(Here's how to store chocolate truffles<\/a>!)\r\n\r\n[cf]skyword_tracking_tag[\/cf]","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
