Description
These strawberry truffles are creamy, melt-in-your-mouth confections made with white chocolate, strawberry extract, and a hint of vanilla. Their soft pink hue and powdered sugar coating make them a perfect, no-bake treat for holidays or everyday indulgence.
Ingredients
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- ¼ cup unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
- ½ teaspoon strawberry extract
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 drop pink food coloring
- ¼ cup powdered sugar (for coating)
Instructions
- Place white chocolate chips in a medium heatproof bowl and set aside.
- In a small saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Stir in heavy cream and bring to a simmer.
- Pour hot butter-cream mixture over the chocolate chips. Let sit for 1–2 minutes, then add strawberry extract, vanilla extract, and pink food coloring. Whisk until smooth. Microwave for 15 seconds if not fully melted.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 1 hour until firm.
- Scoop out 1 to 1½ tablespoon portions and roll into balls.
- Roll each truffle in powdered sugar to coat.
- Refrigerate again for 30 minutes to 1 hour until set. Serve chilled.
Notes
- Use high-quality white chocolate for the best flavor and smooth texture.
- Try rolling in coconut or crushed freeze-dried strawberries instead of powdered sugar.
- For a chocolate-covered variation, dip in melted white or dark chocolate before final chilling.
- Truffles are best served cold but can sit out for 20 minutes before eating.
- Freeze for up to 2 months if needed—thaw in the fridge before serving.
