Ingredients
Scale
Truffle Mixture
- 16 oz. white chocolate chips (or chopped white chocolate bar, about 2 cups)
- 1/4 cup heavy cream (alternatively sweetened condensed milk or condensed coconut milk)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Coating/Dipping
- 16 oz. white chocolate chips (or chopped white chocolate bar, about 2 cups)
- Optional: sprinkles or toppings for decoration
Instructions
- Melting the White Chocolate: Place the white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat them in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring well between each interval until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth. Be careful not to overheat as this can cause the chocolate to seize.
- Mixing the Truffle Dough: Add vanilla extract and heavy cream (or alternative milk) to the melted chocolate and mix thoroughly until a thick, candy-like dough forms.
- Shaping the Truffle Balls: Using a small tablespoon cookie scoop or a regular tablespoon, scoop out portions of the mixture and place them in a single layer inside an airtight container. For best results, let these firm up in the refrigerator for 2-3 hours before rolling into smooth, round balls. Alternatively, chill the entire dough first until firm, then scoop and roll the truffles.
- Preparing the White Chocolate Coating: In a clean microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate again using the same 30-second interval method until fully melted and smooth.
- Dipping the Truffles: Once the truffle balls are firm, dip each ball individually into the melted white chocolate coating. Place the coated truffles on a parchment-lined cookie tray to set. Add sprinkles or toppings immediately if desired.
- Adding Drizzles (Optional): After the coating has hardened, melt additional white chocolate and transfer it into a piping bag or spoon to drizzle over the truffles. Allow this drizzle to set completely.
- Storage: Store the finished truffles in a sealed airtight container in the refrigerator. They will keep fresh for up to one week.
Notes
- Be careful when melting chocolate to avoid overheating and seizing.
- Using sweetened condensed milk or condensed coconut milk is a great dairy-free alternative.
- Allow truffles to chill properly before rolling or dipping for best texture and appearance.
- Add sprinkles or favorite toppings while the coating is still wet to ensure they stick.
- Truffles keep well refrigerated for up to 1 week; do not leave them at room temperature for extended periods.
