Ingredients
  

Truffle Base
  • 250 grams White Cooking Chocolate (chop into pieces) Quality chocolate = better taste
  • 80 ml Thickened Heavy Cream (for a rich texture)
  • 15 grams Freeze Dried Strawberries or Strawberry Powder (plus extra to garnish) Frozen strawberries = bright flavor
Coating
  • 150 grams White Cooking Chocolate (for the coating)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. If using whole freeze-dried strawberries, start by popping them into a blender. Blitz until they become a fine powder, then sift to eliminate seeds and lumps. If you already have powder, you’re ready to roll!
  2. Gently heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan over low heat. Once it just starts to simmer (tiny bubbles around the edges), take it off the heat.
  3. In a medium heatproof bowl, add your chopped white chocolate. Microwave it for 30 seconds to 1 minute, just until the bottom begins to soften.
  4. Pour the hot cream over the chocolate and let it sit for 2 minutes—don’t stir yet!
  5. Gently mix until everything melts together into a silky-smooth ganache.
  6. Stir in the strawberry powder until completely blended.
  7. Pour your strawberry ganache into a small dish, pressing a piece of plastic wrap directly onto the surface to prevent a skin from forming. Chill in the fridge for at least 3 hours until firm.
Forming
  1. Once chilled, scoop out small portions and roll them into bite-sized balls. Place them on a lined tray and either freeze for 15 minutes or refrigerate for 30 minutes to firm up further.
Coating
  1. Chop more white chocolate and melt it in the microwave, heating in 30-second bursts until smooth.
  2. Dip each chilled ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring a complete coat. Tap off the excess and place them back on the lined tray.
  3. If desired, sprinkle a little crushed freeze-dried strawberry on top while the coating is still wet.
  4. Chill everything in the fridge for at least 30 minutes until the chocolate sets—and they’re ready to enjoy!

Notes

Use pre-made strawberry powder to skip the blending and sifting. If the chocolate doesn’t melt smoothly, heat in shorter bursts until completely melted. Try mixing in a dash of vanilla extract for an extra flavor kick.
