Ingredients

Scale

To make White Chocolate Strawberry Truffles, you’ll need:

  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 12 oz white chocolate, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips (for coating)
  • Optional: Powdered sugar or freeze-dried strawberry powder for dusting

Instructions

Make the Strawberry Ganache:

  1. Prepare the Strawberries: In a medium saucepan, combine the chopped strawberries and sugar. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the strawberries break down and release their juices, about 5-7 minutes.
  2. Strain the Mixture: Once the strawberries are softened, pour the mixture through a fine mesh strainer to remove the seeds and pulp, leaving you with a smooth strawberry syrup. Let the syrup cool slightly.
  3. Heat the Cream: In a separate saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it begins to simmer, but not boil.
  4. Combine the Ingredients: Pour the warm cream into the strained strawberry syrup and stir to combine. Let it cool for a few minutes.
  5. Add White Chocolate: Add the chopped white chocolate to the strawberry-cream mixture and stir gently until the chocolate is fully melted and the mixture is smooth. Add vanilla extract and mix until combined.
  6. Chill the Ganache: Let the ganache cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for about 2 hours or until firm enough to scoop.

Form the Truffles:

  1. Scoop and Shape: Once the ganache is chilled and firm, use a melon baller or teaspoon to scoop out small portions of the ganache. Roll them into smooth balls using your hands.
  2. Prepare the Coating: Melt the white chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl over a double boiler or in the microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
  3. Coat the Truffles: Dip each ganache ball into the melted white chocolate, coating it thoroughly. Use a fork to lift the truffle out of the chocolate and gently tap it to remove any excess chocolate.
  4. Chill Again: Place the coated truffles on a parchment-lined tray and refrigerate them for 15-20 minutes until the chocolate coating hardens.

Serve and Garnish:

  1. Optional Garnish: For an extra touch, dust the truffles with powdered sugar or freeze-dried strawberry powder for a burst of color and flavor.
