Recipe questions
How long do the truffles keep?
Stored in an airtight container in the fridge, they keep for up to a week — and they also freeze well for up to a month.
Can I make them without a food processor?
A high-powered blender works in batches, though a food processor gives the most even crumbly texture for rolling.
Can I adjust the spices?
Absolutely. The cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and clove are a festive chai-style blend — halve them for a subtler flavour or leave them out for pure matcha truffles.
