Description
Sweet Strawberry Truffles are a delicious and easy-to-make dessert perfect for any occasion. These bite-sized treats feature the fresh flavor of strawberries blended with creamy white chocolate for a melt-in-your-mouth experience. The no-bake recipe is simple to follow, making it ideal for beginners and seasoned bakers alike.
Start by creating a smooth strawberry purée, which is mixed into a white chocolate and cream base. Once chilled, the mixture is rolled into truffles and coated in melted chocolate for a glossy finish. Customize each truffle with toppings like sprinkles, crushed nuts, or freeze-dried strawberries for added texture and flavor.
Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and puréed
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 cup milk or dark chocolate (for coating)
- Optional: sprinkles, crushed freeze-dried strawberries, or shredded coconut for garnish
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, simmer the puréed strawberries over medium heat until reduced by half, about 8-10 minutes. Let cool.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine white chocolate chips and heavy cream. Microwave in 15-second intervals, stirring between each, until melted and smooth.
- Stir in the reduced strawberry purée, vanilla extract, and powdered sugar until a smooth dough forms. Chill the mixture in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours.
- Scoop tablespoon-sized portions and roll into balls. Place on a parchment-lined tray and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Melt milk or dark chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Using a fork, dip each truffle into the melted chocolate, letting the excess drip off. Place back on the tray.
- Add sprinkles, freeze-dried strawberries, or shredded coconut as garnish before the coating sets.
- Chill the truffles for at least 1 hour to set completely.
Notes
- Use fresh, ripe strawberries for the best flavor.
- For a smoother coating, temper the chocolate for dipping.
- Store truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
