FAQ:
Q: Can I use milk chocolate instead of dark chocolate?
A: Yes, you can use milk chocolate, but keep in mind that it will result in a sweeter and creamier truffle. Dark chocolate provides a more intense, bittersweet flavor.
Q: How do I know when the ganache is ready to scoop?
A: The ganache should be firm to the touch but still pliable enough to roll into balls. If it’s too soft, let it chill longer in the refrigerator.
Q: Can I freeze chocolate truffles?
A: Yes, you can freeze them. Just make sure to place them in an airtight container. When you’re ready to enjoy them, let them thaw at room temperature for the best texture.
