Ingredients
Scale
Primary Ingredients:
- 1 cup fresh strawberries
- 8 ounces (226 grams) white chocolate
- 8 ounces (226 grams) white chocolate
Dairy and Liquid Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup (120 milliliters) heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon (5 milliliters) vanilla extract
Optional Garnish:
- Crushed freeze-dried strawberries
- Sprinkles
Instructions
- Simmer chopped strawberries and heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat for 5-7 minutes until strawberries soften and mixture becomes bubbly.
- Remove from heat and blend the mixture for a smoother consistency, allowing it to cool slightly.
- Place chopped white chocolate in a heatproof bowl and pour the warm strawberry cream mixture over it, letting it rest for 2-3 minutes to melt.
- Stir the chocolate mixture until completely smooth, then incorporate vanilla extract for enhanced flavor.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1-2 hours until the mixture firms up enough to handle.
- Using a cookie scoop or hands, shape the chilled mixture into 1-inch diameter balls and arrange them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Freeze the truffle balls for 30 minutes to maintain their shape during coating.
- Microwave white chocolate for coating, stirring every 30 seconds until completely melted and smooth.
- Carefully dip each frozen truffle into the melted white chocolate, allowing excess to drip off before returning to the parchment-lined sheet.
- While the coating is still wet, optionally sprinkle crushed freeze-dried strawberries or decorative sprinkles on top.
- Let the truffles set at room temperature or refrigerate until the chocolate coating becomes firm and glossy.
Notes
- Adjust strawberry sweetness by adding powdered sugar to the filling mixture for more intense flavor.
- Swap heavy cream with coconut cream to create a dairy-free version that’s equally creamy and delicious.
- Use silicone molds instead of hand-rolling for perfectly uniform truffle shapes with minimal effort.
- Try different coatings like crushed pistachios or dark chocolate drizzle to add unique texture and taste variations.
