Here are some TIPS for making homemade white chocolate truffles:
Use the BEST quality of white chocolate you can find because your recipe is only as good as the ingredients you use. I really like Lindt and Ghiradelli.
Use disposable GLOVES when rolling truffles. This will help prevent the heat of your hands from melting the truffles.
Use a small ice cream scoop to portion out EVEN-SIZED truffles.
If the weather is hot, work in small batches and keep the rest of the mixture in the fridge while you roll the other truffles.
Create an ASSEMBLY line to make it easier to roll your white chocolate truffle balls in different toppings.
Please note that white chocolate truffles, made with condensed milk are much SWEETER than those made with heavy cream.
You must CHILL the mixture in the fridge until it becomes firm or else it will be very difficult to roll into balls.
The number of truffles you get from this recipe will depend on how big or small you like your truffles.
This recipe can easily be doubled or tripled to make a bigger batch of homemade truffles.

Yes. Make sure to seal them properly in freezer bags and thaw your truffles in the refrigerator to prevent condensation from forming.

The chocolate is still safe to eat, but not as pleasant. Personally, I NEVER freeze them because fresh truffles taste and look so much better.
