Description

These 3 Ingredient Strawberry Truffles combine the bright flavor of freeze-dried strawberries with creamy white chocolate for a smooth, sweet treat. They are easy to prepare with no baking required, featuring a luscious strawberry-infused ganache center coated in melted white chocolate. Perfect as an elegant homemade candy or a delightful dessert bite for parties and special occasions.

Ingredients

Truffle Filling

  • 1 cup (15 g) freeze dried strawberry slices
  • 2 cups (338 g) white chocolate chips, divided (can also use milk or dark chocolate)
  • 1/3 cup (79 ml) heavy cream

Chocolate Coating and Optional Decoration

  • 1 cup white chocolate chips
  • Optional: 1 tbsp melted coconut oil (for thinner chocolate coating)
  • Optional: crushed freeze dried strawberries for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare baking sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside to keep the truffles from sticking.
  2. Make strawberry powder: Add the freeze dried strawberry slices to a food processor and pulse until they become a fine powder. Set aside the strawberry powder for mixing into the ganache.
  3. Melt white chocolate for filling: Place 1 cup of white chocolate chips in a medium mixing bowl. Heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan until almost simmering (or microwave until hot but not boiling). Pour the hot cream over the white chocolate chips and let sit for about 1 minute to soften the chocolate. Stir gently with a spatula until smooth, using brief microwave intervals if some chocolate remains unmelted.
  4. Mix in strawberry powder: Stir the strawberry powder into the melted white chocolate mixture until thoroughly combined, creating a smooth strawberry-flavored ganache.
  5. Chill ganache: Refrigerate the ganache for 1-2 hours until it firms up and feels solid but still slightly pliable when pressed.
  6. Form truffle balls: Using a 1 tablespoon cookie scoop, scoop the chilled ganache (similar to scooping ice cream with some effort). Roll each portion into a smooth ball with your palms and arrange on the prepared baking sheet, spacing the truffles so they do not touch.
  7. Freeze truffles: Place the baking sheet with formed truffles into the freezer for about 15 minutes until the truffles become completely solid.
  8. Melt chocolate coating: While truffles freeze, place the remaining 1 cup white chocolate chips in a small microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 20-30 second intervals, stirring between each, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth. Optionally, stir in 1 tablespoon melted coconut oil to thin the chocolate for easier coating.
  9. Prepare truffles for dipping: Remove frozen truffle balls from the freezer and let them sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes. This prevents the chocolate from solidifying too quickly on contact while keeping the truffles cold enough to hold their shape.
  10. Dip truffles: Using two forks, dip each truffle ball into the melted white chocolate, fully coating it. Gently shake off excess chocolate and place back on the parchment-lined baking sheet. If desired, immediately sprinkle crushed freeze dried strawberries on top before the coating sets.
  11. Set coating: Place the coated truffles in the refrigerator for a few minutes to allow the white chocolate coating to harden completely.
  12. Store: Once set, remove truffles from parchment and store in an airtight container in the fridge or freezer until ready to enjoy.

Notes

  • Freeze dried strawberries produce a much stronger fruit flavor and better texture than fresh or frozen in this recipe.
  • Use high-quality white chocolate for best flavor and smooth texture.
  • Adding melted coconut oil to the coating chocolate thins it for a smoother dip and thinner shell but is optional.
  • Work quickly when dipping and decorating the truffles as the coating sets fast.
  • Store truffles refrigerated or frozen to maintain freshness. Let them sit a few minutes at room temperature before serving for best texture.
