Critical Success Points

  • Finely chopping the chocolate to avoid grainy texture
  • Allowing the hot cream to sit on the chocolate for 2 minutes before whisking
  • Whisking until the ganache is completely smooth
  • Chilling the ganache until firm before scooping
  • Rolling the truffles quickly before the ganache softens

Safety Warnings

  • Hot cream can cause severe burns – handle with care
  • Use a serrated knife slowly to avoid slips
  • Alcoholic liqueur is flammable; keep away from open flame
