Hi,
I have just starting my own small business from home making Chocolate truffles. I make them with a ganache recipe of 400ml of chocolate with 150ml of double cream, I have been advising people that they have a shelf life of 5-7 days due to the cream content. I am now wanting to start selling them in local farm shops/delis but they all require a longer shelf life,
My questions on this are:
Does anyone have any advice on how I can make them have a longer life?
Does anyone know any truffle recipes that do not use cream therefore increasing the shelf life?
I also have also started to make chocolate lollies & chunks. I melt the chocolate and then leave to first set at room temperature then put in the fridge but my problem is when I take them out of the fridge and leave for a period of time at room temperature, they seem to look like they have separated and when you bite into them they go all crumbly. What am I doing wrong?
Please can someone help as I seem to have built up quite a few regular customers & I dont want to disappoint them.
Thanks from a new chocolate fan xx
