Units
Scale
- 8 oz (225g) white chocolate, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup (60ml) heavy cream
- 1/2 cup (10g) freeze-dried strawberries, finely ground
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
- Pinch of salt
- 1/2 cup (60g) powdered sugar or extra ground freeze-dried strawberries for coating
Instructions
- Prepare the Strawberry Powder: Grind the freeze-dried strawberries into a fine powder using a food processor or a spice grinder. Set aside.
- Heat the Cream: In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it just starts to simmer. Remove from heat.
- Melt the White Chocolate: Pour the hot cream over the chopped white chocolate. Let it sit for 1-2 minutes, then stir until smooth.
- Add Flavors: Stir in the vanilla extract, butter, salt, and the ground freeze-dried strawberries. Mix well until fully combined.
- Chill the Mixture: Cover and refrigerate the mixture for at least 2 hours, or until firm enough to scoop.
- Shape the Truffles: Using a small cookie scoop or spoon, scoop out small portions and roll them into balls with your hands.
- Coat the Truffles: Roll the truffles in powdered sugar or additional strawberry powder for an extra burst of flavor.
- Set & Serve: Place the coated truffles on a parchment-lined tray and refrigerate for another 30 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
- For a smoother texture, strain the strawberry powder before mixing it into the truffle mixture.
- You can also dip the truffles in melted white chocolate for an extra decadent touch.
