How to Store, Freeze & Reheat

These truffles are perfect on a holiday cookie platter or boxed up as homemade gifts. I love serving them with a dusting of powdered sugar and a sprig of rosemary for a festive touch.

Store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks, or freeze for up to 3 months. Just let them come to room temperature for about 15 minutes before serving to get that creamy texture back.

🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Place chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl. In a small saucepan, heat cream over medium until just simmering, then pour over chocolate. Let sit 2 minutes, then stir until smooth.
  2. Add butter, vanilla, and salt, stirring until glossy. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours, or until firm enough to scoop.
  3. Using a small cookie scoop or teaspoon, portion the mixture into 1-inch balls. Roll each between your palms to smooth.
  4. Roll truffles in powdered sugar, cocoa powder, or festive sprinkles, pressing gently to adhere.
  5. Chill truffles for 30 minutes before serving. Store in an airtight container in the fridge.

👩🍳 Chef Elena’s Kitchen Notes & Storage

For the smoothest truffles, use good-quality chocolate — it really makes a difference. These keep in the fridge for up to 2 weeks, or freeze for 3 months; just thaw in the fridge overnight before serving.
