Strawberry White Chocolate Bliss
Crush freeze-dried strawberries into a delicate, silky dust using a food processor. Sift through a fine mesh to ensure a smooth, seed-free powder.
Gently warm cream in a small saucepan until tiny bubbles appear around the edges, then remove from heat.
Chop white chocolate into delicate pieces. Warm in short microwave bursts, stirring between intervals until softly melting.
Pour hot cream over chocolate, letting it rest momentarily. Stir with a gentle touch until a glossy, luxurious ganache forms.
Blend strawberry powder into the ganache, creating a dreamy pink-tinged mixture.
Transfer ganache to a container, seal with clingy wrap, and refrigerate until firm and scoopable.
Roll chilled ganache into petite spheres. Briefly freeze to help maintain shape.
Melt additional white chocolate, creating a smooth, glossy dipping sauce.
Carefully dunk each truffle into melted chocolate, allowing excess to drip away. Decorate with crushed strawberry dust if desired.

Velvety White Chocolate Truffles Recipe
- Total Time: 4 hours 15 minutes
- Yield: 21 1x
Description
Delightful white chocolate truffles combine creamy elegance with strawberry essence. Rich Belgian chocolate and fresh cream create an indulgent treat perfect for special moments with friends.
Ingredients
- 250 g (8.8 oz) white cooking chocolate
- 150 g (5.3 oz) white cooking chocolate (for coating)
- 80 ml (2.7 fl oz) thickened/heavy cream
- 15 g (0.5 oz) freeze-dried strawberries (or strawberry powder)
Instructions
- Pulverize Strawberries: Transform freeze-dried strawberries into a delicate powder using a food processor, then sift through a fine mesh to eliminate unwanted particles.
- Prepare Ganache Base: Warm cream in a saucepan until lightly simmering, then remove from heat. Finely chop white chocolate and transfer to a heat-resistant bowl. Partially melt chocolate using controlled microwave bursts.
- Create Ganache: Pour heated cream over chocolate, allowing brief resting time. Gently fold with a silicone spatula until a glossy, uniform ganache develops. Thoroughly incorporate strawberry powder for even distribution.
- Chill and Shape: Transfer mixture to a shallow container, seal with plastic wrap directly touching the surface. Refrigerate until ganache solidifies. Use a small scoop to form uniform truffle centers, rolling between palms to create perfect spheres. Arrange on a parchment-lined tray and chill to firm up.
- Coat and Finish: Melt additional white chocolate carefully, stirring between microwave intervals to achieve a smooth consistency. Immerse each chilled truffle into melted chocolate using a fork, ensuring complete coverage. Tap gently to remove excess coating. Sprinkle crushed freeze-dried strawberries over truffles before chocolate sets. Refrigerate until coating hardens completely for a stunning presentation.
Notes
- Powder Precision: Sifting freeze-dried strawberries ensures a smooth, lump-free powder for an even flavor distribution.
- Cream Technique: Gentle heating prevents scorching and maintains the cream’s delicate texture for perfect ganache.
- Chocolate Melting Mastery: Short microwave bursts and careful stirring prevent chocolate from burning or seizing.
- Coating Finesse: Tapping excess chocolate and sprinkling crushed strawberries creates a professional, visually appealing finish.
