# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • These disappear faster than you can say I should have doubled the recipe
  • The tart raspberry cuts through the white chocolate richness in the most perfect way
  • They look like you spent hours when actually most of the time is hands-off chilling
02 -
  • Warm hands will melt these quickly so work fast or keep a bowl of ice water nearby to dip your hands in
  • If the ganache gets too soft while rolling just pop it back in the fridge for ten minutes
  • The coating sets faster than you think so have those raspberries ready before you start dipping
03 -
  • Invest in good quality white chocolate since you can taste every single ingredient
  • Use a cookie scoop for more uniform sized truffles that look professionally made
