This is more apparent in those with the liquor as it probably dillutes the consistency. Using a lesser quantity of cream does help this a bit, but they usually don't last that long!!

Thanks jarra, enjoy.

Ganache - what a classic! Is this the recipe you used for the truffles you brought to the first food bloggers' banquet?

Does adding Cointreau to your jaffa truffles alter the consistency at all? I found that my melted chocolate developed a funny texture when I added Cointreau to a similar recipe.
