Any tips for easy "dipping" techniques for truffles?

by Jenny

I just started working with chocolate, specifically truffles. I wondered if anyone had tips to help me out with the chocolate coating part? Is there a way to make the chocolate thinner without messing up the taste or texture, etc.?

I'm sure I've probably overlooked tips about this on your site. If so, I apologize ahead of time!

Thanks so much for the help!!!

Dipping Tips!
by: Angie

Hi Jenny,

No apologies needed. There are little tips weaved all through the site, but who could be expected to find them all? That's why I created this page where folks could ask questions. :-)

Dipping can be a bit messy and challenging I know. I've tried so many different "techniques" over the years from toothpicks to proper dipping tools.

There are specially designed dipping forks that have a couple of really long prongs or even a circular wire on the end for ease in dipping. I have to admit I tend to just grab a fork in most cases and shake off the excess by taping the fork on the side of the bowl.

If you want to try a dipping fork, they have them for good prices at Candyland Crafts.

As far as making the chocolate thinner is concerned, try adding a teaspoon or so of shortening, like Crisco. This usually works great!

Now, you make sure you come back and show off your finished truffles before you eat them all!

I've worked with my hands to create a thinner coating. Place a latex type glove on one hand. Use a spatula to spread a thin coating of tempered chocolate in the palm of the hand. Use your other hand to quickly roll the ganache over your palm. It takes a little practice, but once you figure this out it is quite effective.
