Ingredients

Filling

  • 115 g cream cheese
  • 70 g powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 60 g fresh or freeze-dried strawberries (finely chopped or crushed)

Coating and Decoration

  • 170 g white chocolate (for coating)
  • 30 g graham cracker crumbs or freeze-dried strawberry crumbs (for rolling)

Instructions

  1. Beat the cream cheese: Using a mixer or hand whisk, beat the cream cheese until it becomes light and fluffy, which creates the smooth and creamy base for the truffle filling.
  2. Add powdered sugar, vanilla, and strawberries: Mix in the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and finely chopped or crushed strawberries until the mixture is fully combined and smooth.
  3. Chill mixture if needed: If the mixture is too soft to shape, place it in the freezer for 15 minutes to firm up slightly for easier handling.
  4. Form bite-sized balls: Scoop the mixture and roll into small, bite-sized balls. Arrange them on a tray lined with parchment paper for easy handling.
  5. Freeze the balls: Freeze the formed balls for 15 to 20 minutes to make them firm enough for dipping.
  6. Melt the white chocolate: Gently melt the white chocolate until smooth and glossy, which will create a beautiful coating for the truffles.
  7. Dip the balls in chocolate: Using a fork or dipping tool, fully coat each chilled truffle ball in the melted white chocolate.
  8. Coat with crumbs: Place the chocolate-coated balls back on the tray and quickly sprinkle or roll them in graham cracker crumbs or freeze-dried strawberry crumbs while the coating is still tacky.
  9. Set the coating: Refrigerate the truffles until the white chocolate hardens completely, ensuring a firm outer shell.
  10. Store and serve: Keep the truffles in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy them chilled for the best taste and texture.

Notes

  • Freeze-dried strawberries work well if fresh strawberries aren’t available and prevent adding extra moisture to the filling.
  • Be careful not to overheat white chocolate while melting to avoid it seizing.
  • You can customize coatings by using different crumbs or adding a little color dust on the finished truffles for presentation.
  • These truffles should be consumed within 5 days for optimal freshness when stored in the refrigerator.
  • If mixture is too firm after chilling, allow it to sit at room temperature for a few minutes before rolling to soften slightly.
