Truffle Making Success Tips
- Use fresh pineapple. Fresh pineapple gives the best tropical flavor — drain it well so the mixture stays firm.
- Chill well. A full 1-2 hours in the fridge makes rolling much easier and cleaner.
- Roll in extra coconut. A generous coating adds texture and keeps the truffles from sticking together.
- Keep them cold. Store truffles in the fridge and serve chilled for the best creamy texture.
- Use a small scoop. A teaspoon-sized scoop keeps every truffle even and professional looking.
