  • About

Premade Shells Guarantee Consistent shape and size, are time efficient, and make packaging easier due to their uniformity. Hollow shells allow for centers that are softer than could be handled for dipping, and create an enjoyable textural contrast between shell and filling. The ganache used in hollow-shell truffles typically contains approximately 25 percent less chocolate than a piped or slabbed ganache. Of course, the cost and quality of the shells must be taken into consideration.

The shells must be filled carefully and completely because any small air pockets will allow mold to grow. Additionally, although hollow shells permit the use of soft fillings, you must be mindful of the water content of fillings and their potential for spoilage.
