Truffle Errors - not enough chocolate
How can I save a batch of truffles when I realized I only used 7 oz of chocolate instead of 9 oz and it doesn't seem to be thickening up enough?
Best Answer
Whether you are making the filling or the shell, this is recoverable.
If you are making the filling or center, just melt it down again, and add the additional chocolate. Let it cool and continue your recipe as normal.
If you are making the tempered shell, it is more difficult, but you can melt down, add the additional chocolate, and re-temper. This may not be worth it since you would need one of the more difficult "from-scratch" tempering methods. Still, you can use this chocolate for another filling, where tempering is not required.

Why is my truffle mix not setting?
Heating the cream to the wrong temperature Of course, it needs to be hot enough to melt the chocolate, so too-cool cream won't get the job done either. We like to bring the cream to a simmer and let it sit off the heat for three to five minutes to ensure it's just right.How do you fix chocolate truffles?
First of all, you can just add a couple of tablespoons of cold cream (double or single) and gently stir it in. That usually corrects the problem. But if you either don't have more cream or don't want to make your chocolate ganache watery, there is another way.Why are my chocolate truffles soft?
"A good truffle should melt in your mouth," says Saffitz. If you serve them stone-cold and straight outta the fridge, you're missing the point. That said, letting them sit at room temperature for hours will render them so soft that you can't pick them up. A solid hour oughta do the trick.Why are my truffles melting?
If the truffles are too soft, they will become misshapen or even melt into the chocolate, yielding a lumpy mess. If they are refrigerated before dipping, the chocolate coating is more likely to crack. One solution to this problem is to let your rolled truffles sit at cool room temperature overnight before dipping them.TRUFFLE INSTALL ERROR IN WINDOWS || GYP ERROR | NPM ERROR || JAVA SOFT
