# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • They taste exactly like the banana pudding you remember but in tiny poppable form
  • The crunchy vanilla wafers inside create the most satisfying texture contrast
  • You can make them entirely ahead and they actually get better after a day in the fridge
  • The white chocolate coating balances the sweet banana filling perfectly
02 -
  • If your truffle mixture feels too sticky to roll, pop it in the fridge for fifteen minutes and try again
  • White chocolate seizes if you overheat it so stop microwaving when there are still a few lumps and stir vigorously
  • Work quickly once you start dipping because the cold truffles will eventually warm up and become impossible to handle
  • Room temperature white chocolate takes forever to set so keep your decorated truffles in the fridge between batches
03 -
  • Freeze the undipped truffle balls for up to a month and thaw in the fridge before coating
  • Add a tiny pinch of salt to your white chocolate while melting to balance the sweetness
  • Keep a bowl of ice water nearby in case you burn your fingers on repeated chocolate dipping
