Step 4: Chill the Ganache

  1. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for an hour, or until the mixture becomes firm.

Step 6: Chill Before Serving

  1. Refrigerate the truffles for another hour to set them before serving.

Equipment

Notes

  • Choose Quality Chocolate: Using high-quality white chocolate can enhance the creaminess.
  • Experiment with Food Coloring: Adjust the orange food coloring based on your preference for a vibrant truffle.
  • Chilling Time: Make sure to chill the ganache completely before rolling, as this ensures the perfect texture.
