FAQs

Q: Can I use fresh grated carrot in these truffles?
A: You can, but fresh carrot adds moisture. Add only a small amount and chill longer.

Q: Are these safe to leave out at room temperature?
A: Because they have cream cheese, keep them in the fridge if left out more than two hours.

Q: Can I make the truffles ahead of time?
A: Yes. Make and chill them, then store in the fridge for up to a week or freeze for longer.

Q: What if the chocolate seizes when I melt it?
A: Stop heating. Add a small spoon of oil or a little butter and stir until smooth.

Q: Can I use a different cake mix?
A: Yes. A spice or yellow cake mix can work, but the flavor will change.
