Ingredients
- 8 oz white chocolate (good quality, chopped)
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup freeze-dried strawberries, finely crushed
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar or additional crushed strawberries for rolling
Instructions
In a heatproof bowl, combine white chocolate and heavy cream. Microwave in 20-second bursts, stirring after each interval, until smooth and completely melted. (Or use a double boiler if you’re feeling fancy!)
The key here is to heat it gently so the chocolate doesn’t seize. If you notice any lumps that won’t melt, just keep stirring till eventually smooth out.
Stir in the vanilla extract and crushed freeze-dried strawberries. The strawberries not only bring a natural fruity flavor but also give the truffles a gorgeous pink hue.
Want an extra intense strawberry kick? Add a tiny pinch of salt to balance the sweetness and deepen the flavor profile.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1-2 hours until the mixture is firm enough to scoop.
Using a small spoon or melon baller, scoop out portions and roll into bite-sized balls with your hands. (Pro tip: Lightly dust your hands with powdered sugar to prevent sticking!)
Rolling truffles is like therapy there’s something oddly satisfying about forming these little bites of joy. Plus, if they’re not perfectly round, don’t sweat it. Imperfection is charming.
Roll the truffles in either powdered sugar or more crushed freeze-dried strawberries for an extra burst of flavor and color. Store them in the fridge until ready to serve.
Notes
- Use high-quality white chocolate for the best flavor and texture.
- Chill the mixture properly before rolling to make handling easier.
- Try different coatings such as shredded coconut, finely chopped nuts, or cocoa powder.
- For a fun twist, place a small piece of dried strawberry or a drop of strawberry jam in the center before rolling.
- To enhance the strawberry flavor, add a pinch of salt to balance the sweetness.
