Storage and Serving Suggestions
Your homemade no-bake chocolate heart truffles are perfect for Edible Gifts. Store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week. This keeps their rich flavor and soft texture.
For a special Date Night Dessert, take the truffles out of the fridge 10-15 minutes before serving. This lets them warm up slightly. It enhances the chocolate taste and makes them melt in your mouth, impressing your partner.
Freezing is a great way to keep your truffles longer. They can stay in the freezer for up to three months. Just thaw them gently in the fridge when you’re ready to enjoy them again.
Pro tip: Be gentle when handling these treats. Use a small offset spatula or clean hands. Serve them on a chilled plate to keep their heart shape and prevent melting during your romantic dessert.
