Part 6/8:

Make sure the truffles are well-chilled before attempting to remove them. Lightly spray the outside of the mold with non-stick spray, then carefully invert to release the confection. To serve, leave the truffles at room temperature for about two hours; this ensures they are warm enough to melt in your mouth, revealing their rich chocolate flavor.

For decoration, a few dots of mixed berry coulis, fresh raspberries, or a light dusting of cocoa nibs elevate the presentation. Garnish with a touch of whipped cream and a single raspberry for an elegant finish.

Tips for Success

• Use high-quality chocolate with at least 50% cocoa butter for a smooth, flavorful ganache.

• Always melt chocolate gently, preferably over a double boiler or in short bursts in a microwave.
