Safety Notes for Truffle Making: www.gretchensv...
Since truffles are meant to be eaten at room temperature and also stored at a very cool room temperature (usually 65°F)
It is very important to follow strict safety guidelines when making an d especially rolling truffles.
Also wear gloves when handling ganache for rolling into truffles.
Our hands have bacteria on them that if it is transferred to the truffle and then coated in chocolate
You run the risk of breeding molds and bacteria inside the chocolate coating that would not be visible until someone takes a bite
Additionally in the video you will see that because the environment I was working was so extremely hot, I had to put my truffles in and out of the freezer/refrigerator as I worked.
This caused severe condensation that would also pose a problem if I was to store the truffles at room temperature
Professional chocolatiers work in temperature controlled environments that prevent this type of thing from occurring
So if your environment is not ideal while working with truffles, please always store your truffles in the refrigerator for safety
But bring to room temperature for several hours (up to 1 day) before serving.

A 21 minute video with Gretchen?! Yes ma'am! Yes please! 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 it's an early Christmas gift.

[@alanhamilton3789]

Damn that looks good. I know it’s a weird time of year for it but I’m trying to cut down on body fat. So I will be living vicariously through you guys. 😭 Luckily none of the baked goods my coworkers are bringing in are vegan so there’s no temptation.

[@dolores79]

I LOVE truffles… I’d be the one eating them out of the bowl before rolling them!

wwwwwwooooooooooowwwwwwwww

[@janetc5716]

Just started the video and I already love the relaxing and elegant vibe you got going on

[@victoryactivitiestv]

awesome, looks yummy, nice one

[@Dead_in__side__]

I really like the new video format 😊

[@lorna6680]

Love this format!!! Super informative and fun to watch but also with your own personality and twist to it. I definitely want to make truffles now too!

[@Cyborcat]

I like this new laid-back style. Reminds me a *little* of Alvin Zhou, but it's definitely still you, if you know what I mean.

[@MrCrishho]

I was gonna say the same, so classy this style...❤️

[@anadd6195]

So so nice 😍👏

[@S-Lewis]

Love the double coating tip! My ganache always contaminated my chocolate by the end of dipping.

[@iby345]

What type of chocolate should we use? Guessing not baking chocolate. Is there anything in the ingredients we should look for to know?

[@GretchensVeganBakery]

The highest quality couverture chocolate is best for a truffle recipe since it is just 2 ingredients, you really want the quality to be up there..I talk about Callebaut which is a very good chocolate basically you will look for the % listed on the chocolate Cocoa percentage refers to the amount of chocolate liquor, cocoa butter, and cocoa powder that's in a chocolate product Bittersweet chocolate often has around 70%, with added sugar and other fillers depending on manufacturer. Semisweet chocolate has at least 35 percent but usually hovers around 55% I typically use a 55-60% chocolate

@@GretchensVeganBakery Thank you so much!

[@pjccwest]

🙃

[@Hypegreene05]

I would like to add some instant coffee powder to the chocolate once the hot milk is added. I think some peppermint extract would give the truffles a nice Christmas flavor too.

[@GretchensVeganBakery]

So would I! :D

[@vegankitchenwitchery]

Love the new cozy look on your vids!

[@GretchensVeganBakery]

Thank you!

[@micheleeastmond9552]

Ms. Gretchen I would do a play on the flavours found in the Caribbean classics of ponche a creme or coquito,i.e. egg nog for you. So vegan white chocolate, spices n maybe a dusting of coconut.😊

[@GretchensVeganBakery]

ohhh yes that sounds incredible!!

[@byronchandler5000]

Those are some elegant truffles, Gretchen.

[@JorgeGonzales-hs8en]

How are you @Gretchen? Wanna collab?

I have a Chocolate Chili Kahlua that I'm going to try with this. It gives a nice warming heat (not spicy) & I think it will be awesome in this recipe. Thanks for this video!

[@GretchensVeganBakery]

OMG that sounds amazing! I love HOT chocolate! :D

[@Ngan.marianguyen]

I love your channel!!😍😍 I’ve been vegan for 3 weeks now and this is just love!

[@judyfleming6269]

Rolling the trufflles in your hand with chocolate takes me back to baking and pastry school days. Love your videos!! And I really love the background and music. The format is very soothing.

[@GretchensVeganBakery]

Thanks Judy! Great to see you :)

[@cheekypigg]

can I use soy single cream instead, or just stick to the milk? 🥺 I can't wait to make this for my family for the holidays.

[@GretchensVeganBakery]

Yes! Any plant milk you like best will be fine! I write more about this on the written post! :) www.gretchensveganbakery.com/vegan-truffles/

[@thehumblespinster]

This was such a cosy festive video. Felt like I should have been watching it with the lights out next to a roaring fire while sitting in a comfy armchair drinking coco!

[@GretchensVeganBakery]

Thankyou!! I am loving this style ~ I can't wait to film the next one!! Hopefully I can start tomorrow!

[@jstamps9578]

Wow I love the way you give us permission to play with flavors. My imagination and taste buds are telling me ooh ooh try this and that. Also there is so much non verbal technique you are teaching. You are such a joy to watch.

[@GretchensVeganBakery]

Thank you!!

[@susanwilhelm1396]

Hi Gretchen. What type and/or # cookie scoop do you recommend? I can't wait to try these.

[@GretchensVeganBakery]

Hi Susan I use a #100 scoop, thanks! I often recommend these because these are the only 3 sizes I use for everything I do! amzn.to/3sbdAoX (but the smallest one is for these truffles!)

[@easyhealthyrecipes8939]

So cool! I adore truffles 🥰🤤

[@guerra6890]

Really love this style of videos.

[@marellori]

Hi! If you want to add some liquid alcohol, should you first reduce the milk quantity in the same amount? And also, but you put it at the end, before putting the milk over the choco so alcohol doesn't evaporate? Thank you 😘😘😘

[@GretchensVeganBakery]

Hey there, I always write lots more information, notes for success, additional tips etc on the written recipe post. It's always a good idea to go there to get the visuals (I have created charts with all the ratios for settings from soft to firm) This is from the blog post:: Keeping in mind that if you are adding things like liquors and preserves or pastes to the filling You would want to go with the firmest setting listed to compensate for the added liquid ingredients You can add up to 4 Tablespoons of any liquor you like, but average amount would be closer to 2 tablespoons per recipe To answer your other question, I do not evaporate off the alcohol, but you absolutely can by adding it to the milk before boiling. I like the true taste of the alcohol in my truffles. So for my method I add it to the ganache after I pour the milk, whisk it to smooth then add the alcohol

[@marellori]

@@GretchensVeganBakery thank youuuu!! 😘😘

[@Kayetana89]

am i the only one who eats the nut shells?

[@GretchensVeganBakery]

🤔 perhaps

[@taliyah369]

If only kahlua was vegan though 🤔

[@GretchensVeganBakery]

Yes, correct. Tia Maria is the better choice

[@rhiannonjones2006]

2 ingredient gnash lol apart from the heaps of spices so not two ingredient is it. Why not just do what you call it snd actually do just two

[@GretchensVeganBakery]

If you watched the video and listened, you would have heard me say...."Of course you can add any spices, and orange, ginger etc..like I am here TO THE 2 INGREDIENT BASE RECIPE FOR GANACHE" but hey thanks for playing.
