Can You Prepare Chocolate and Cheese Truffles and Taco Dip a Day Ahead?

In summary, When it comes to making dishes ahead of time, it is important to consult the specific recipe instructions or a Pampered Chef consultant for guidance. Some recipes can be made a day ahead, while others may need to be stored in different ways or may be affected in taste or texture. Additionally, some dishes may be suitable for freezing, and reheating methods can vary depending on the dish and personal preference.

I'm trying to organize for my open house. Two items I want to make for it are the velvety chocolate truffles and the cheese truffles. If I make them a day ahead and store them in the refrigerator, will they be OK the next day? And what about touchdown taco dip? Can I refrigerate that also?

Thanks!

I don't know about the desserts, but do know you can make the touchdown taco dip ahead of time (skipping the baking part) and then get your stone to room temperature the next day before heating it.

Well I can chime in for the velvety chocolate truffles, it is better to let them set up in the fridge they taste better when they're cold in my opinion, and much easier to handle, won't melt as soon as you put your fingers on them.
 
cheese trufflesI made cheese truffles on Tuesday, froze a few and defrosted them in the fridge today....they actually tasted better today than the day that I made them!
 


Hi there!

Great choices for your open house - the velvety chocolate truffles and cheese truffles are always a hit with guests. To answer your question, yes, both the truffles and touchdown taco dip can be made a day ahead and stored in the refrigerator. In fact, I recommend making them ahead of time to save yourself some stress on the day of the open house. Just make sure to keep them in airtight containers to maintain freshness. Happy hosting!
