Ingredients
  

Truffle Mixture
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 3 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
  • 1/2 teaspoon strawberry extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 drop pink food coloring
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar

Equipment

  • Small Saucepan
  • Medium Bowl
  • Plastic Wrap

Method
 

  1. Add the white chocolate chips to a medium bowl and set aside.
  2. In a small saucepan, melt the butter. Stir in the heavy cream and bring to a simmer over medium heat.
  3. As soon as the mixture comes to a simmer, pour it over the white chocolate chips. Allow the mixture to sit for 1-2 minutes to soften the chocolate.
  4. Add the extracts and food coloring and whisk the mixture until smooth and all ingredients are fully incorporated.
  5. If needed, heat the mixture for 15 seconds at a time in the microwave if the chocolate has not melted all the way.
  6. Cover the mixture with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes-1 hour.
  7. Scoop 1 to 1 ½ tablespoons of the strawberry truffle mixture and form into balls, then roll the balls in the powdered sugar.
  8. Refrigerate the truffles for another 30 minutes – 1 hour before serving.

Notes

These truffles can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week. For a more intense strawberry flavor, you can add a bit more strawberry extract. Make sure to work quickly when forming the truffles as they may soften at room temperature.
