Keeping Truffles

Aussie Lurker said:

Hi All,

The kids and I enjoyed ourselves making chocolate truffles this afternoon. We will be making some
more closer to Christmas to give as gifts to neighbours etc. The main ingredients are chocolate,
cream and alcoholic flavourings (yummy).

How long do you think they would keep in an airtight container in the fridge? I don't want to have
to do everything at the last minute and was hoping I could make them about a week in advance.

Many thanks,

Lurker

They should be fine for a couple of weeks as long as you keep them refrigerated.

I think it depends on your recipe. What were the 'minor' ingredients (you mentioned the main ing.
were cream, chocolate, and alcohol)? If you made truffles out of just chocolate and cream, the
recipe I have says 2-3 weeks in the fridge and 2-3 months in the freezer. However, if you added
something like paraffin I would guess it would keep longer.

Should be good for a couple of weeks, or you can freeze (ziploc baggies are excellent for this) for
quite a bit longer.

Cocoa rolled will need to be freshened up a bit on serving.

Truffles keep for a couple weeks in the fridge, longer in the freezer.

I usually store my truffles in rice in the refrigerator. There are some large white ones this year.

Hereby demonstrating yet ANOTHER reason not to top-post. Had Rex interspersed, the chances of
actually reading the original post would have been higher.

My favorite truffles are the first I ever had. Fannie Mae's with a dark center and a coating of

Never tried them.... but will look!

Good luck. After that first batch, I've been looking for them for 25 or 30 years.

The VERY best I ever, ever had was "Toute sweet truffle bars" made in Canada. I got them at central
market, but they quit carrying them! <pout>

Were they by Bernard Callebaut? He's big in Canada, and has opened several shops in America, now.

Lindt's are my current favorite. :-d

They're okay. Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory makes some nice ones, too.

Trinidads, perhaps? Those were probably my first, too. And if they

Y'know, that could just be it.

No wonder I loved them.

I'm going to have to score some.

As time has passed, I've found many truffles that I like better; anything

Or maybe Fannie May stopped making them as good.

I wonder if I can get the local Callebaut store to duplicate these. Theirs are great.

made by a local chocolatier will beat the pants off a Fannie May chocolate. The locally made
ones don't keep as well, but I generally don't find that to be a problem. ("They're gone
already? Oh man."😉

Yeah. The number that make it into the car and the number that make it home are a diophantine ratio.
