Let’s Make it Together
Prepare the Strawberries: Rinse fresh strawberries under cool water and gently pat them dry with paper towels. Ensure they are completely dry so the chocolate adheres well.
Make the Filling: In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine heavy cream and chopped white chocolate. Stir until smooth and let it cool slightly before adding pureed strawberries. For more inspiration, check out this White Chocolate Raspberry Bundt Cake recipe.
Mix it Up!: Gently fold in the strawberry puree into the white chocolate mixture until fully combined. Refrigerate this mixture for about 1-2 hours until firm enough to scoop.
Scoop and Shape Truffles: Once chilled, use a melon baller or small scoop to portion out the mixture. Roll each scoop into balls using your hands; this might get messy but trust me, it’s worth it!
Coat with Chocolate: Melt some additional white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl or double boiler. Dip each truffle into melted chocolate, allowing excess to drip off before placing them on parchment paper.
Add Final Touches: While the chocolate is still wet, roll some truffles in cocoa powder or coat with sprinkles. Let them set at room temperature or refrigerate until firm.
Enjoy your homemade Strawberry Truffles! Whether you share them or keep them all to yourself (no judgment here), they’re sure to delight everyone’s taste buds! Strawberry Flaky Puffs.
