Instructions

In a heatproof bowl, add the white chocolate and butter. Set aside.
In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until just simmering (do not boil).
Pour the hot cream over the white chocolate and let it sit for 1–2 minutes to soften.
Stir gently until smooth. If needed, microwave in 10-second intervals to melt any remaining bits.
Stir in the vanilla extract, salt, and ground freeze-dried strawberries until fully combined.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 1–2 hours, or until firm enough to scoop.
Using a small spoon or a cookie scoop, scoop out portions of the mixture and roll them into balls.
Roll each truffle in powdered sugar or extra ground freeze-dried strawberries for coating.
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator until ready to serve.

Notes

If the mixture is too soft to roll, chill it longer or briefly freeze it.
For extra strawberry flavor, mix powdered sugar with more ground freeze-dried strawberries before coating.
Keep refrigerated for up to 1 week or freeze for longer storage.
