Just my opinion, but I think it depends what you’re after, there’s no one right answer. Typically you aim for a silky look to ganache but it may not be that smooth depending on the ingredients you add. I don’t see any reason that a filling should have a different texture for truffles verus moulded chocs, other than viscosity maybe.

Shoot for a 2:1 ratio. This way, the ganache will be firm and very chocolaty. It will have a longer length and still be smooth.

Thanks very much for you guys’ opinion.
Is that meant the more the cream I added in the ganache, the shorter of the shelf life?

Normally, for a good truffle, you add a good quantity of butter.
I would try:
4 chocolate
2 cream
1 butter
I think the shelf life will be quite short.

Honestly, when you’re dealing with pure ganaches (no preservatives), shelflife shouldn’t be an issue. Don’t store them for more than a week.
