Ingrediënten
If the filling seems too soft after mixing, you can refrigerate it for a while to firm it up before rolling it into balls. This helps them hold their shape better.
Make sure to freeze the balls for at least 30-45 minutes before dipping them in the chocolate.
You can dip the balls into the chocolate using a fork or skewer. Let the excess chocolate drip off before placing them on parchment paper.
Sprinkle the truffles with chopped pistachios right after dipping in chocolate, while the chocolate is still soft. This ensures the pieces stick well.
After dipping, place the truffles back on parchment paper and let them harden at room temperature. If you’re in a hurry, you can briefly refrigerate them, but don’t leave them too long, as the chocolate may become dull due to condensation.
Store the pistachio truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They will keep for about a week.
Use chocolate that you enjoy.
