Tips and Tricks

Aside from giving you great chocolate strawberry truffle recipes, we’ll throw in a nice bonus! Here are some tips that you can follow to ensure that you make truffles that look like they were done by expert chocolatiers!

  • These recipes don’t really require a lot of skill, so what separates beginner truffles from professional-looking ones is the quality of the ingredients you use. If you use premium chocolates and the freshest strawberries, you can never go wrong!
  • If your filling mixture keeps falling apart, just re-chill it in the fridge so it becomes firm.
  • You can dust your hands with flour or powdered sugar so the mixture doesn’t stick to your hands when you’re shaping them.
  • Do you hate that telltale line that is made after dipping when gravity brings the chocolate down and it pools underneath the truffle, ruining your perfect circle? You can remedy this by using a toothpick when dipping your chocolates and then plopping the toothpick down on some styrofoam, creating a truffle lollipop. Once the chocolate coating has set, you can transfer it to another container and just cover the toothpick hole with toppings.
