Hi Sheryl, Thanks so much for the challenge! Yours is awesome! I was ‘challenged’ on what to make… Truffles are a great way to use blueberries and lemons. Have a great day, Deb

Could these be made ahead and frozen? They look superb!!!
Thank you!

  Hi Emily, You could make the truffle ahead of time and freeze them. I’m not sure how the melted chocolate would respond to being frozen. It will probably sweat.

Can I use fresh blueberries?

- Sheryl on June 28, 2016 at 5:31 pm said:
  
  Hi Charlotte, You can try it. I would worry about the moisture. At least with the jelly and freeze dried blueberries I know how much moisture I’m getting. Once the blueberries start to get old I’m afraid they would weep through.

Hi. I hv some fresh frozen blueberries. Can i use those instead of freeze dried blueberries.

  Hi Parul, No the frozen berries will add too much moisture to your truffle. Fresh might work but not frozen.
