Ingredients
Scale
Truffle Mixture
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, finely chopped
- 8 oz high-quality white chocolate, chopped
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
For Dusting
- 2 tbsp cocoa powder
Instructions
- Prepare Strawberries: Wash and dry the strawberries thoroughly to remove any dirt or moisture, then finely chop them to incorporate evenly into the mixture.
- Melt White Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate in 20-second intervals, stirring in between, until it becomes smooth and fully melted without burning.
- Mix Cream Cheese and Sugar: In a medium bowl, blend the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy to form the base of your truffle mixture.
- Combine Chocolate and Strawberry: Fold the melted white chocolate gently into the cream cheese and sugar mixture. Then carefully incorporate the chopped strawberries without overmixing to keep pieces intact.
- Chill the Mixture: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least one hour until the mixture firms up enough for shaping.
- Form Truffles: Scoop tablespoons of the chilled mixture and roll them into bite-sized balls using your hands to create uniform truffles.
- Coat with Cocoa Powder: Roll each truffle in cocoa powder to lightly dust the outside, then place them on a parchment-lined tray to set and prevent sticking.
Notes
- Ensure strawberries are completely dry before chopping to avoid excess moisture.
- Use high-quality white chocolate for the best flavor and smooth texture.
- Keep truffles refrigerated until serving for optimal firmness.
- Customize dusting by using finely chopped nuts or shredded coconut instead of cocoa powder for variation.
- These truffles are best consumed within 3-4 days when kept refrigerated.
