Premade truffle shels- necessity or copout?
Posted in: Opinion
ok, first of all: yes, fill the truffle shells almost to the top and let them rest over night before cap them.
by the next day they should have shrunk enough to leave enough space to close them.
Pre-made truffle shells are very expensive.
Now, here is a way to make truffles (shells) as cheap as it can be, without having to buy a spinner.
Chocolate World in Belgium are selling a filling machine called "Easy Fill" which I have used for many years.
Not cheap, but a far cry away from a one shot machine/spinner.
And now the trick:
they are selling a 2pc truffle mould (magnet/series 2000) which you can use to make either only truffle shells or in "2 shot" way, the entire truffle with filling.
I have the moulds, but still have to find the time to use them.
You can of course also fill the moulds by hand but the easy fill machine will make it much faster and more equal in weight.
Make sure to get the machine for truffles as there are 2 types.
Check-out their website.
