Can I use milk chocolate instead of dark chocolate for the truffles?

Yes, you can definitely use milk chocolate if that’s your preference. It will create a sweeter and creamier truffle, but keep in mind that the flavor profile will differ from the rich, deep taste of dark chocolate.

How long do these truffles last?

When stored properly in an airtight container in the refrigerator, these truffles can last up to a week. Make sure to separate layers with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

Can I freeze chocolate raspberry truffles?

Yes, you can freeze these truffles! Place them in an airtight container and separate layers with parchment paper. They can last for up to three months in the freezer.

What can I use instead of heavy cream?

If you're looking for a lighter alternative, you can use coconut cream or even a plant-based cream for a dairy-free option. Just ensure it's a type that can be whipped and has a similar consistency.

What other flavors can I incorporate into the truffles?

Consider using flavorings like peppermint, mocha, or almond extracts for interesting flavor combinations. You can also add zest from citrus fruits like orange or lime for a refreshing twist.
