Strawberry Truffles (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
→ Base Ingredients
01 -
1 cup white chocolate chips
02 -
¼ cup unsalted butter
03 -
3 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
→ Flavorings
04 -
½ teaspoon strawberry extract
05 -
¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
06 -
1 drop pink food coloring
→ Coating
07 -
¼ cup powdered sugar
# Instructions:
01 -
Add the white chocolate chips to a medium bowl and set aside.
02 -
In a small saucepan, melt the butter. Stir in the heavy cream and bring to a simmer over medium heat.
03 -
As soon as the mixture comes to a simmer, pour it over the white chocolate chips. Allow the mixture to sit for 1 to 2 minutes to soften the chocolate. Add the extracts and food coloring and whisk the mixture until smooth and all ingredients are fully incorporated.
04 -
Cover the mixture with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
05 -
Scoop 1 to 1½ tablespoons of the strawberry truffle mixture and form into balls, then roll the balls in the powdered sugar.
06 -
Refrigerate the truffles for another 30 minutes to 1 hour before serving.
# Notes:
01 -
Some strawberry truffle recipes incorporate fresh strawberries that are cooked down. This technique will yield a very soft gooey truffle filling and is not suitable for this recipe.
02 -
Once all ingredients are stirred together, the mixture may separate but continue stirring until fully incorporated.
03 -
30 minutes chilling yields softer dough, while 1 hour makes it thicker but ready to eat immediately after forming.
