How To Make White Chocolate Truffles

Make the truffle mixture by melting together the butter and whipping cream. Add the white chocolate and mix until the chocolate is melted and the mixture is well combined. Transfer this mixture to a large plate, and allow it to cool in the refrigerator for about 2 hours.

Once the mixture has thickened in the refrigerator, it can be molded into truffles. Take a spoonful of the truffle mixture and mold it around a hazelnut. Roll in coconut flour and set aside. Continue until all the truffle mixture is used.

Tips

The whipping cream can be substituted with heavy cream, the truffles will just be chewier.

Make the truffles vegan by using vegetable shortening and coconut cream.

Instead of rolling the truffles in coconut flour, dip them in more melted white chocolate and sprinkle them with freeze-dried strawberries.

To make equally-sized truffles, use a small ice cream scoop to measure out the portions.

White Chocolate Truffle Variations.

For added texture, add mini white chocolate chips to the truffle mixture before rolling it into balls. You can play around with other mix-ins too. Try chopped nuts, cranberries, or even caramel bits
