Peut-on utiliser du chocolat au lait à la place du chocolat noir ?

Oui, vous pouvez remplacer tout ou partie du chocolat noir par du chocolat au lait pour des truffes plus douces. Pensez à réduire légèrement la quantité de sucre glace en conséquence.

Comment éviter que le chocolat brûle lors de la fonte ?

Faites toujours fondre le chocolat à feu doux en remuant constamment. Pour plus de sécurité, utilisez un bain-marie.

Peut-on congéler les truffes au chocolat ?

Oui, jusqu'à 3 mois dans une boîte hermétique avec du papier sulfurisé entre les couches. Décongelez au réfrigérateur la veille.

Combien de temps à l'avance peut-on préparer les truffes ?

Jusqu'à 2 semaines à l'avance au réfrigérateur. Les saveurs se développent et s'intensifient avec le temps.

Comment former des boules bien rondes sans que le mélange colle aux mains ?

Farinez vos mains de cacao en poudre, travaillez rapidement et remettez le mélange au réfrigérateur 15 minutes dès qu'il devient trop mou.
