- Let it cool in the refrigerator overnight covered by plastic wrap.
- Scoop a small tablespoon of chocolate mixture and roll the truffle balls in your hands; be careful to avoid melting the balls. The size (diameter) should be about 1 inch (2.5 cm). Alternatively, shape the truffles by using a melon baller.

These truffles can also be covered by dark chocolate: first melt the chocolate in a double boiler, cool to 95 degrees F (35 degrees C) or less, then roll cold truffle balls in the melted chocolate using a fork and a teaspoon, finally put the truffles in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. Chocolate-covered truffles should be served at room temperature.
