- Filling:
- 1 cup freeze-dried strawberries
- 8 oz (225 g) cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 8 oz (225 g) white chocolate, melted and slightly cooled
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Coating:
- 10 oz (280 g) white or dark chocolate, melted
- Sprinkles or extra freeze-dried strawberries, crushed (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare the Strawberries:
- Place the freeze-dried strawberries in a food processor or blender and pulse until they turn into a fine powder.
- Make the Filling:
- In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar together until smooth.
- Stir in the strawberry powder and melted white chocolate until fully combined. Add vanilla extract and mix well.
- Chill the Filling:
- Cover the mixture and refrigerate for 1-2 hours, or until firm enough to roll into balls.
- Shape the Truffles:
- Use a spoon or small scoop to portion out the filling. Roll into 1-inch balls and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Chill for another 30 minutes.
- Coat the Truffles:
- Dip each truffle into the melted chocolate, ensuring it’s fully coated. Place back on the parchment paper and sprinkle with garnish, if desired.
- Set and Serve:
- Let the chocolate coating harden at room temperature or in the fridge. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
- Store the truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
- You can use milk or dark chocolate for coating if you prefer a less sweet finish.
