Storing and Serving Tips
To keep your Vegan Oreo Truffle Balls fresh, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They will last for up to a week, though we doubt they'll stick around that long! If you want to prepare them in advance, you can also freeze the truffles for up to three months. Just make sure to separate layers with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
When ready to serve, consider letting the truffles sit at room temperature for a few minutes for the best texture. They can be enjoyed on their own or paired with a scoop of vegan ice cream for an extra indulgent dessert experience.
