Description
These no-bake strawberry truffles feature a silky pink ganache made with white chocolate and freeze-dried strawberries for intense flavor. Perfect for gifts or as an indulgent dessert.
Ingredients
Scale
- 300 g (10.6 oz) white chocolate, finely chopped
- 180 ml (3/4 cup) heavy cream
- 30 g (2 tbsp) unsalted butter
- 40 g (1/2 cup) freeze-dried strawberries, powdered
- 25 g (3 tbsp) icing sugar
- 5 ml (1 tsp) vanilla extract
- Pinch of fine sea salt
- Cocoa powder or crushed freeze-dried strawberry powder for coating (as needed)
Instructions
- Chop the white chocolate into small, uniform pieces and place in a heatproof bowl.
- Heat the heavy cream with the powdered freeze-dried strawberries and salt until just simmering, then let sit for 2 minutes.
- Pour the hot cream over the chopped chocolate and let sit for 1 minute. Stir in the unsalted butter and icing sugar until smooth.
- Stir in the vanilla extract and more salt, cover, and refrigerate until firm enough to scoop, about 45-60 minutes.
- Use a small scoop to portion the ganache into 24 mounds on a parchment-lined baking sheet and chill for 10-15 minutes.
- Roll each portion into balls and coat in cocoa powder or crushed freeze-dried strawberry powder.
- Chill the finished truffles for 10-15 minutes to set the coating, then transfer to an airtight container.
Notes
For best results, ensure not to overheat chocolate or cream to avoid graininess. Use a digital scale for accurate measurements.
