Prep Time: 45 minutes
Chilling Time: 4 hours
Total Time: 4 hours and 45minutes
Servings: 15
Ingredients
- 250 grams of White Cooking Chocolate
- 80 ml Thickened Heavy Cream
- 15 grams Freeze Dried Strawberries – or Strawberry Powder – plus extra to garnish
- 150 grams White Cooking Chocolate – for the coating
Instructions
- If using freeze-dried strawberries, blend them into a fine powder and sift through a sieve to remove any seeds or lumps. Skip this step if using freeze-dried strawberry powder.
- Heat cream in a small saucepan on low until it starts to simmer, then turn off the heat.
- Finely chop the white chocolate and place it in a medium heat-proof bowl. Microwave for 30 seconds to 1 minute until the bottom of the chocolate starts to melt.
- Pour the hot cream over the chopped chocolate and let it sit for 2 minutes. Stir gently until all the chocolate has melted and you have a smooth ganache.
- Add the strawberry powder and stir until incorporated.
- Pour the ganache mixture into a small dish or airtight container. Cover with plastic wrap touching its surface and refrigerate for at least three hours until firm.
- Scoop small portions of the filling and roll them into balls, then place them on a lined baking sheet. Freeze for 15 mins or Fridge for 30 mins.
- Finely chop more white chocolate for coating and melt it in the microwave in 30-second increments until smooth.
- Dip each chilled ball into the melted chocolate, coating them completely. Tap off any excess chocolate and place them back on the lined tray.
- Optionally, sprinkle crushed freeze-dried strawberries over the chocolate coating.
- Fridge for at least 30 minutes until set before serving.
Notes
- Only slightly soften the white chocolate, don’t fully melt it.
- If your ganache has split, try smoothing it out with an immersion blender, being careful not to create too many air bubbles.
- The chilling time for the ganache may vary depending on its temperature and the size of the dish used. If it still feels soft, it needs longer.
- If the filling feels very soft and sticky, it needs more chilling time.
- If the chocolate coating is too hard to roll easily, let it sit at room temperature for 15 to 20 minutes.
- If the white chocolate coating has started to set and isn’t coating the truffles easily, remelt it in the microwave until smooth and fluid.
