Ingredients
Scale
Truffle Mixture
- 12 oz white chocolate chips or chopped white chocolate
- ¼ cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- ¼ cup freeze-dried strawberries, finely crushed
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
For Rolling (Optional)
- Powdered sugar or extra crushed freeze-dried strawberries
Instructions
- Heat cream and butter: In a small saucepan over low heat, gently combine the heavy cream and unsalted butter. Stir continuously until the butter is fully melted and the mixture is warm but not boiling.
- Melt white chocolate: Remove the saucepan from heat and immediately pour the warm cream and butter mixture over the white chocolate in a heatproof bowl. Let it sit undisturbed for 2–3 minutes to soften the chocolate.
- Combine mixture: After resting, stir the mixture thoroughly until the white chocolate is completely melted and smooth. If some chocolate remains solid, microwave the bowl in 10-second increments, stirring after each, until fully combined.
- Add flavorings: Stir in the vanilla extract, a pinch of salt, and the finely crushed freeze-dried strawberries until evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
- Chill the mixture: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours, or until the mixture is firm enough to scoop.
- Form truffles: Once chilled, use a tablespoon to scoop out portions of the mixture. Roll each portion between your palms into a smooth ball shape.
- Coat the truffles: Roll each truffle in powdered sugar or additional crushed freeze-dried strawberries, if desired, to add texture and extra strawberry flavor.
- Store properly: Place the finished truffles in an airtight container and store them in the refrigerator until ready to serve. They keep well for up to 1 week or can be frozen for longer storage.
Notes
- For an elegant touch, dip the truffles in melted white chocolate and sprinkle with strawberry dust before setting.
- Store truffles in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
- For extended storage, freeze the truffles in an airtight container and thaw before serving.
