Core Ingredients
- 1 cup freeze-dried strawberries
- 8 ounces white chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar, plus extra for coating
Instructions
- Prepare the Strawberry Powder: Place freeze-dried strawberries into a food processor or blender and pulse until they form a fine powder. This concentrates the strawberry flavor without adding moisture that could affect texture.
- Melt the White Chocolate: Using a double boiler or microwave, gently melt the white chocolate chips until smooth and creamy. Stir frequently and avoid overheating to maintain a silky texture.
- Mix the Cream and Strawberry Powder: Warm the heavy cream slightly in a bowl, then whisk in the strawberry powder until fully combined to add creaminess and strawberry essence.
- Combine and Chill: Pour the strawberry cream mixture into the melted white chocolate and stir thoroughly to incorporate. Cover and refrigerate the mixture for at least 2 hours until firm enough to shape.
- Shape and Coat the Truffles: Once firm, scoop out bite-sized portions using a spoon or melon baller. Roll each portion into a smooth ball with your hands, then coat by rolling in powdered sugar for a delicate, sweet finish.
Notes
- Use quality white chocolate and fresh freeze-dried strawberries for best flavor and texture.
- Chill the mixture thoroughly to make shaping easier and maintain the truffle form.
- If mixture softens while shaping, refrigerate for 10–15 minutes to firm up.
- Avoid fresh strawberries to prevent excess moisture that can ruin the texture.
- Store truffles in airtight containers in the refrigerator to keep fresh for up to one week.
