Ingredients
Scale
Truffles Base:
- ½ cup (120 g) fresh strawberries, finely chopped
- ¼ cup (60 g) unsalted butter, softened
- 2 cups (250 g) powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Coating Ingredients:
- 1 ½ cups (170 g) white chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil or shortening (optional, for smoother coating)
Decoration:
- Pink or red sanding sugar (optional)
Instructions
- Pulverize fresh strawberries in a blender or food processor until achieving a silky, uniform texture.
- Transfer the vibrant strawberry puree into a spacious mixing vessel, incorporating softened butter, powdered sugar, and aromatic vanilla extract.
- Gently amalgamate the ingredients using a spatula or whisk, creating a pliable, cohesive mixture with a delicate consistency.
- Assess the dough’s malleability – if excessively sticky, incrementally introduce additional powdered sugar, integrating one tablespoon at a time until reaching an optimal workable texture.
- Continue blending and folding the ingredients until a smooth, uniform sweet strawberry base emerges, ensuring no dry pockets of sugar remain.
Notes
- Opt for fresh, ripe strawberries to ensure a vibrant, natural sweetness in your truffles.
- Chill the mixture for 15-30 minutes before rolling to make handling easier and prevent sticky hands.
- Roll truffles in crushed freeze-dried strawberries or shredded coconut for added texture and visual appeal.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute butter with coconut oil or vegan margarine, maintaining the same creamy consistency.
