Recipe Tips:

  • You can roll the chocolate truffles in chocolate curls or sprinkles, coarsely ground almonds or any other topping of your choice.
  • While rolling out the truffle balls make sure you roll them pretty quickly as they start getting melted by the heat of the hands.
  • Please make sure, you use a good quality chocolate. The better the quality of chocolate, the better will be the taste of the truffles.
