Top 4 Mistakes and How to Avoid Them
Mistake 1: Overmixing the Batter
Overmixing can lead to dense truffles. Gently fold the ingredients to maintain a light and airy texture.
Mistake 2: Skipping Chilling Time
Resist the temptation to skip the refrigeration step. Chilling allows the truffles to set and enhances their flavor.
Mistake 3: Using Too Much Hazelnut Spread
A teaspoon is plenty. Using too much can overpower the delicate balance of chocolate and coconut flavors.
Mistake 4: Neglecting Shaved Coconut
The shaved coconut coating adds texture and visual appeal. Don’t skip this final touch!
