Ingredients
  

Truffle Filling
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips (or chopped white chocolate) Melted
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened Cream cheese must be softened
  • 3 to 4 tablespoons freeze dried strawberry powder (or crushed freeze dried strawberries) Adjust to taste
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 pinch salt
Chocolate Coating
  • 1 to 1.5 cups semi sweet chocolate for coating Chips are fine
  • 1 teaspoon coconut oil or shortening Optional, helps the coating melt smoother

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Melt the white chocolate in the microwave in 20-second bursts, stirring each time until mostly melted and smooth.
  2. In a bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Stir in the melted white chocolate, strawberry powder, vanilla, and salt until it looks like thick pink frosting.
  3. Cover the bowl and chill for at least 1 hour (up to 90 minutes if your kitchen is warm), until firm enough to roll.
  4. Scoop and roll into bite-sized pieces, about 1 tablespoon each. Place them on a parchment-lined tray and chill again for 20 to 30 minutes.
Coating
  1. Melt the semi-sweet chocolate with the coconut oil if using. Dip each truffle ball in the chocolate and allow excess to drip off.
  2. Place the coated truffles back on the parchment paper. Optionally, top with crushed freeze-dried strawberries.

Notes

Serve chilled for the best flavor and texture. Store in a sealed container in the fridge for about 5 days or freeze for up to 2 months. If using fresh strawberries, they can make the filling too wet.
