Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 8 ounces white chocolate, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup freeze-dried strawberries, finely crushed
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Coating
- 1/3 cup powdered sugar, for rolling
Instructions
- Heat the cream and melt chocolate: Place the finely chopped white chocolate in a heatproof bowl. In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it just begins to simmer. Pour the hot cream over the white chocolate and let it sit for 1–2 minutes to soften.
- Combine and stir: Stir the mixture gently until the chocolate is completely melted, smooth, and glossy.
- Add flavorings: Stir in the crushed freeze-dried strawberries, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until fully incorporated.
- Chill the mixture: Cover the bowl and refrigerate the mixture for 1–2 hours until firm enough to scoop, which allows it to set properly.
- Shape the truffles: Once chilled, use a small cookie scoop or spoon to portion out the mixture and roll each portion into approximately 1-inch balls using your hands.
- Coat with powdered sugar: Roll each truffle in powdered sugar until fully coated. Place the coated truffles on a parchment-lined tray.
- Final chilling: Refrigerate the truffles for 15–20 minutes to set the coating. Serve chilled or allow them to come to room temperature before enjoying.
Notes
- Store truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week to maintain freshness.
- For an intensified strawberry flavor, add a few drops of natural strawberry extract to the mixture before chilling.
- Handle the truffles gently to keep their smooth texture intact.
- These truffles are perfect for gifting or special occasions like Valentine’s Day.
