- 250 grams white cooking chocolate
- 80 ml thickened/heavy cream
- 15 grams freeze-dried strawberries or strawberry powder plus extra for garnish
- 150 grams white cooking chocolate for coating
Place the freeze-dried strawberries in a small food processor and blend into a fine powder, then sift through a fine mesh sieve to remove lumps (skip if using strawberry powder).
In a small saucepan, heat the cream over low heat until it begins 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 slightly melted.
Pour the hot cream over the chopped chocolate and let sit for 2 minutes, then stir gently until smooth and shiny.
Stir in the strawberry powder until fully incorporated and lump-free.
Pour the ganache into a small dish, cover with plastic wrap touching the surface, and refrigerate for at least 3 hours until firm.
Using a small scoop, portion the ganache and roll into balls, then place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and chill until firm (about 15 minutes in the freezer or 30 minutes in the fridge).
Chop the chocolate for coating and melt in the microwave or over a double boiler. Dip each truffle in melted chocolate and place back on the lined tray, optionally sprinkle with crushed strawberries.
Chill the coated truffles in the fridge for at least 30 minutes until the chocolate coating sets.
This recipe is loved for its ease and irresistible flavor. A dessert that will impress your baking skills!
