Notes

Step-by-Step Photos: My blog post includes helpful step-by-step photos to help guide you through making this recipe.
Substitutions & Variations: I have included a list of these in the post above.
To Store: Store in an airtight container for up to two weeks in the fridge. Enjoy right from the fridge!
To Freeze: Freeze in an airtight container for up to 3 months.
Tip 1: Make sure to freeze for the recommended times to ensure the truffles harden.
Tip 2: A bain-marie is very helpful to keep the temperature even and avoid overcooking. If you don’t have one, you could use a heat-safe container that fits well over a pot. Boil water in the pot to heat the container.
Tip 3: Try a variety of toppings such as cacao nibs, cacao powder, or pistachios.
