Ingredients
Scale
- 250g white chocolate (cooking variety)
- 80ml heavy cream
- 15g freeze-dried strawberries (or strawberry powder), plus extra for garnish
- 150g white chocolate (for coating)
Instructions
- Chop the white chocolate into small pieces and place it in a heatproof bowl.
- Warm the heavy cream in a saucepan over medium heat until it starts to simmer (don’t boil).
- Pour the cream over the chopped white chocolate and stir until smooth and melted.
- Add the freeze-dried strawberries or strawberry powder into the mixture and stir well.
- Allow the mixture to cool and then chill in the fridge for about 1 hour until firm.
- Once firm, roll the mixture into small balls.
- Melt the remaining white chocolate for coating.
- Dip each truffle into the melted white chocolate and place on a tray lined with parchment paper.
- Garnish with extra freeze-dried strawberry pieces on top.
- Chill for another 15-20 minutes to set.
Notes
- Texture Tip: For a smoother coating, make sure the melted white chocolate is not too hot before dipping the truffles. Let it cool slightly to avoid melting the truffle centers.
- Storage: Keep your truffles refrigerated for the best texture and taste. If you’re making them ahead of time, they can stay fresh for up to a week in the fridge.
- Flavor Variations: You can swap the strawberry powder for other freeze-dried fruits like raspberries or blueberries for a fun twist!
- Sweetness: If you like things a little less sweet, you can reduce the amount of white chocolate in the coating or use a dark chocolate coating instead.
