  • Total Time: 2 hours 30 minutes
  • Yield: 20-24 truffles 1x

Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 8 oz white chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup fresh strawberries, finely diced
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 2 tbsp powdered sugar, adjust as needed
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Optional Coatings

  • Freeze-dried strawberry powder
  • Crushed nuts (pistachios or almonds)
  • White chocolate shavings
  • Cocoa powder (for dusting)
  • Crushed dark chocolate (for dusting)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Strawberries: Finely dice fresh strawberries and pat them dry on a paper towel to remove excess moisture, ensuring the ganache texture is smooth.
  2. Heat the Cream and Butter: Gently warm the heavy cream and butter together over low heat until melted and just beginning to simmer. This mixture will melt the white chocolate evenly.
  3. Melt White Chocolate: Pour the warm cream and butter mixture over the white chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl. Let sit for one minute, then stir gently until the mixture is smooth and glossy.
  4. Mix in Strawberries and Flavorings: Fold in the diced strawberries and vanilla extract. Gradually add powdered sugar until the ganache becomes slightly firm and easy to roll.
  5. Chill the Ganache: Cover the mixture with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until it is firm enough to handle but still soft.
  6. Form and Coat the Truffles: Scoop small portions of the chilled ganache and roll them quickly between your palms to form smooth balls. Immediately roll each truffle in your chosen coating, such as freeze-dried strawberry powder or crushed nuts, then place on a parchment-lined tray.
  7. Final Chill: Refrigerate the coated truffles for 30 minutes to set fully before serving or packaging.

Notes

  • Use high-quality white chocolate for the creamiest texture.
  • Ensure strawberries are thoroughly dried to prevent the ganache from becoming too wet.
  • Do not rush chilling; well-chilled ganache holds shape better.
  • Work quickly when rolling truffles to avoid melting from warm hands; chill hands if needed.
  • Experiment with coatings like cocoa powder, crushed nuts, or white chocolate shavings for varied textures and flavors.
