Heavy whipping cream was a brand whose name I don't recall... And I used the same ratio that you gave. Anyways, I left the truffles in the fridge. Hopefully, when I get home, they'll be delicious and great to look at! Btw, I added vanilla essence and broken almonds in the chocolate-cream mix prior to chilling.Lakshmihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03935803939491045516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10611609.post-51444024451076539532008-02-01T09:56:00.000-06:002008-02-01T09:56:00.000-06:00Lakshmi: I am sorry to hear of your ordeal!

Can't think of why you had so much trouble getting it to set. The chocolate and cream I used are the type that are standard in the US, and perhaps their composition is different in different places. Sorry about that!Nupurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03890441057480820053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10611609.post-22830315208274447132008-02-01T09:37:00.000-06:002008-02-01T09:37:00.000-06:00I have been obsessed with making these beauties......I have been obsessed with making these beauties... finally I got down to it last night. The cream-chocolate ratio was a little askew, I think. I chilled them in the refrigerator overnight (!) and they were semi-solid this morning... :( Finally, I put them in the freezer for 45 mins and then they looked a wee bit better. Rolling them was quite messy... and then I rolled them in almond pieces so Lakshmihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03935803939491045516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10611609.post-41061268379019153372008-01-17T03:14:00.000-06:002008-01-17T03:14:00.000-06:00The truffles are truly inspired.Have to say I am g...The truffles are truly inspired.<BR/>Have to say I am glad you didn't use "chai-tea".Aparna Balasubramanianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02989967318453941084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10611609.post-44159004715616588102008-01-16T19:44:00.000-06:002008-01-16T19:44:00.000-06:00You are right - truffles are so creative.
