What Kind of Chocolate is Best for Clotted Cream Chocolate Truffles?
I use bittersweet chocolate in my clotted cream truffles. Bittersweet chocolate is 70% cocoa solids, which means a happy balance of bitter and sweet, hence the name. If you don’t have bittersweet chocolate, other kinds of chocolate can be used, like semi-sweet or something in the 80% range. I would not suggest milk chocolate, as it is too sweet and often not as good of quality as darker chocolate.
How Long Should I Chill Truffles?
The truffle mixture should be chilled for a minimum of 6 hours, but I really prefer to leave them in my fridge overnight. This can be done a day or 2 in advance making these a great make-ahead treat for dinner parties and celebrations.
Can I Make My Own Clotted Cream?
YES! I actually developed this recipe specifically to use up my own Homemade Clotted Cream. Clotted cream is one of my favorite things to keep on hand. I love it served traditionally with my Microwave Jam and Best Ever Irish Scones, too!
How Do I Store Clotted Cream Truffles? How Long Will They Last?
They can be stored in the fridge for up to 4 weeks. But, I highly doubt they will stick around that long!
