recipe for truffles & freezing question

boredjellybean

Hi there

I have a packet of ground almonds about to go out of date & I wondered about making some truffles & freezing them, would this be possible & if so does anyone have a recipe/tips ?

Many thanks

Quickly replying:
Basic truffle recipe is equal weight of cream and dark chocolate, and then things added. I can't think that this would freeze at all well.

However, I think that your ground almonds would freeze quite well for at least a few weeks.

Myself, I would think about using them to make shortbread, or at this time of year, a blackberry bakewell tart.

We just made 600 truffles for our son's wedding on Saturday...we used Jamie Oliver's recipe, with Elmlea instead of cream as they have a longer life without the need to be constantly refrigerated.

Personally, I would freeze your ground almonds (and any other nuts) to use in Christmas cake, almond paste or macarons.
