Can you dip frozen truffles?

You can't. So take a few out, dip those, go back to the freeze for more. Otherwise you will have your truffles falling off into the warm chocolate creating one GIANT mess.

Can you melt truffles?

The truffles you have now have a limited shelf life from when they were made. You melting them down will not increase that shelf life. Plus you don't like them as is and whatever you make from them isn't going to be all that much better than what they are now.

Why are my truffles melting?

If the truffles are too soft, they will become misshapen or even melt into the chocolate, yielding a lumpy mess. If they are refrigerated before dipping, the chocolate coating is more likely to crack. One solution to this problem is to let your rolled truffles sit at cool room temperature overnight before dipping them.

What can I do if my truffles won't set?

First of all, you can just add a couple of tablespoons of cold cream (double or single) and gently stir it in. That usually corrects the problem. But if you either don't have more cream or don't want to make your chocolate ganache watery, there is another way.

How do you thicken up a truffle?

Use a higher chocolate-to-cream ratio to produce a thicker ganache. Milk chocolate, white chocolate, and compound chocolate all melt down to a thinner consistency than dark chocolate does. For a thicker ganache, like for truffles, use a 2:1 ratio of chocolate to cream. For a frosting ganache, use a 1:1 ratio.

Why is my Chocolate Truffle not setting?

Equal amounts by weight of chocolate and cream should yield a workable ganache for rolling truffles. Fat content of the chocolate and the cream will have an effect. To fix... very gently melt the ganache to 140 F add 20% of the original weight of chocolate chopped fine and stir slowly to avoid air bubbles.

Are truffles supposed to be soft?

"Truffles shouldn't be rock hard," says Brad. They should have a little give, but not be soft or mushy. Of course, it goes without saying that you should pass over ones that are downright squishy or moldy. The smell should be very strong—remember, it's technically a fungus—so don't be deterred by a little eau de earth.

How do you keep truffles from melting?

1. The secret to rolling the truffles without them melting everywhere is to only touch them with your fingertips, and then, as little as possible. ...
2. The person rolling the truffles should dampen her fingertips with water and coat them with cocoa before shaping and rolling the truffles.

How do you eat a chocolate truffle?

Put half of the truffle in your mouth and let the flavors bounce around on your tongue. Move the chocolate to the roof of your mouth and let it melt. What flavors do you taste?

What is the correct way to eat chocolate?

Crunch the bar once or five times with your teeth if you like, but do not swallow. Press the chocolate up against the roof of your mouth and let it unravel its mysteries. Open your mouth, breath. Close your mouth, breath.

Is there a right way to eat chocolate?

Let the first bite be small to “warm up” the tongue, which can taste only sweet, sour, salty, bitter. Some chocolates can hit all four tastes. The second bite is the one that counts. Suck on the chocolate and feel how it melts, sense the texture (grainy or smooth?).

Is it wrong to chew chocolate?

Turns out chocolate isn't meant to be chewed. Next time, press it to the roof of your mouth, suck, and then let it melt there for about as long as you can stand it.

What is the right way to eat dark chocolate?

Place a sizable piece of chocolate in your mouth, but don't chew it immediately. Chewing may release some of the bitter flavors that are more common in dark chocolate. Chew it only to break it into small enough pieces that it begins to melt on its own.

How can I eat without my parents knowing?

Open the fridge or cabinet door slowly. It will give you away. Before you start pushing things around looking for something and making noise, take a glimpse at the food, and push things away slowly, then grab your food.

Can dogs eat chocolate?
