What Are White Truffles?

White truffles are bite-sized, creamy treats made with white chocolate and vanilla wafers, with a crunchy almond center. The mixture is chilled, rolled into balls, and coated in shredded coconut for extra texture and flavor. These truffles are sweet, smooth, and rich, without being overwhelmingly sugary. Since they require no baking, they are incredibly easy to make, making them a favorite for last-minute dessert prep.

Why Everyone Will Love This Recipe

• No baking required: These truffles come together quickly with no oven time.
• Rich and creamy: The combination of white chocolate and vanilla wafers gives these truffles a smooth, indulgent texture.
• Customizable: You can easily switch the almonds for other nuts or even add extra flavorings like a splash of vanilla extract.
• Perfect for any occasion: Whether it’s a holiday gift, a birthday treat, or a simple snack, these truffles are always a hit.

Cooking Tips

• Let the mixture chill: Be sure to rest the mixture in the fridge for about 30 minutes. This helps the truffle mixture firm up so you can easily roll them into balls.
• Use a food processor: A food processor is the best way to chop the vanilla wafers into fine crumbs, which helps create a smooth texture.
• Don’t over-chill: If you leave the mixture in the fridge too long, it will become too hard to shape. Aim for around 30 minutes for the perfect consistency.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I Use Dark Chocolate Instead of White Chocolate?

Yes, you can substitute dark chocolate for white chocolate if you prefer a more intense flavor. The overall texture will be similar, but the flavor will change to a richer, less sweet one.

Can I Add Other Flavorings to The Truffles?

Absolutely! You can add a few drops of vanilla extract or almond extract for an extra burst of flavor. Feel free to experiment with different ingredients to suit your taste.

Can I Make These Without Almonds?

If you’re not a fan of almonds, feel free to use other nuts, like hazelnuts or pistachios, or omit the nut altogether for a simpler truffle.

What’s The Best Way to Coat the Truffles?

Make sure to coat the truffles in shredded coconut evenly by rolling them gently in the coconut until fully covered. You can also try rolling them in cocoa powder, chopped nuts, or even powdered sugar.

How to Store White Truffles

Keep the white truffles in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week.

How to Freeze White Truffles

Place the truffles in a single layer on a tray or baking sheet and freeze for about 1 hour. Once firm, transfer them to an airtight container or freezer bag. They will keep in the freezer for up to 1 month. To enjoy, let them thaw in the fridge for a few hours before serving.

How to Make White Truffles

In a microwave or over low heat in a saucepan, melt the white chocolate, stirring frequently to prevent burning. Use a food processor to finely chop the vanilla wafers into crumbs.

In a large bowl, mix the chopped wafers with the melted white chocolate.

Mix well with a spoon until you get a smooth, consistent dough.

Let the mixture rest in the fridge for about 30 minutes (no more than that, or it will be too hard to work with).

Scoop small portions of the mixture and roll them into balls with your hands. Flatten each ball on your palm, place a whole almond in the center, and then close the ball back up, re-shaping it.

Roll each truffle in shredded coconut until fully coated.

Let the truffles set before serving. Enjoy the sweet, creamy goodness!
