Note

If the truffles have set too hard and the coating won't stick, roll them gently between your palms until the outside is slightly soft before coating.

Truffles can be refrigerated for 2-3 days or frozen for several weeks. If freezing, wrap tightly in plastic wrap before placing in an airtight container.

For a non-alcoholic version, omit the orange liqueur and add a teaspoon of orange extract or zest instead.
