Description
- These indulgent White Chocolate Blueberry Truffles are the perfect combination of sweet, creamy white chocolate and tart, juicy blueberries. Made with a smooth white chocolate ganache and coated in extra white chocolate, they make an elegant treat for special occasions or a luxurious snack.
Ingredients
-
8 oz white chocolate, chopped (for ganache)
-
1/4 cup heavy cream
-
1/2 cup freeze-dried blueberries, crushed into powder
-
1 tsp vanilla extract
-
1/4 cup fresh blueberries (optional, for decoration)
-
8 oz white chocolate (for coating)
-
A pinch of sea salt (optional, for sprinkling)
Instructions
-
Chop the white chocolate into small pieces for the ganache and place it in a heatproof bowl.
-
Heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until it just begins to simmer.
-
Pour the hot cream over the white chocolate. Let it sit for 2 minutes, then gently stir until smooth and fully melted.
-
Add the crushed freeze-dried blueberries and vanilla extract to the ganache, stirring until evenly mixed. Allow it to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for 1–2 hours until firm.
-
Scoop out small portions of the chilled ganache and roll them into small balls with your hands. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
-
Melt the additional 8 oz of white chocolate in a heatproof bowl using a double boiler or microwave, stirring every 20 seconds until smooth.
-
Dip each truffle into the melted white chocolate, fully coating it. Use a fork to lift the truffle out and let excess chocolate drip off. Place the truffles back onto the parchment-lined sheet.
-
Optional: Sprinkle a small pinch of sea salt on top of each truffle for a sweet-salty contrast.
-
Refrigerate the truffles for another 30 minutes to allow the coating to set. If desired, decorate with fresh blueberries on top of each truffle.
-
Serve chilled and enjoy!
Notes
-
For a stronger blueberry flavor, you can add a bit of blueberry extract to the ganache.
-
These truffles can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
-
You can roll the truffles in extra freeze-dried blueberry powder for a fun, fruity coating.
