  3. Mix in dried blueberries and cool mixture in the fridge (uncovered) until cool enough to work with but still soft enough to roll relatively easily.
  4. Measure out ganache mixture (25 grams) in a tablespoon-sized ice cream scoop (#60).
  5. Form truffle with hands into round/spherical shape.
  6. Place on parchment-covered sheet pan.
  7. If mixture gets too warm, return to fridge.
  8. Roll truffles in Blueberry Coating until completely covered, making sure to use gloved hands or tongs.

serving size: 1 30-gram truffle.

Hold time/shelf life: 3 months.
