Ingredients
-
1 cup crushed freeze-dried strawberries
-
6 oz cream cheese, softened
-
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
-
1/2 cup powdered sugar
-
1 cup white chocolate chips or candy melts (for coating)
-
1 tbsp coconut oil or vegetable shortening (for smooth coating)
-
Optional: pink sprinkles, extra strawberry dust, or white chocolate drizzle for decoration
Instructions
-
Make the Filling:
-
In a food processor or mixing bowl, blend cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla, and crushed freeze-dried strawberries until smooth and thick.
-
Refrigerate for 30 minutes to firm up the mixture.
-
-
Form the Truffles:
-
Scoop out about 1 tablespoon of filling and roll into balls.
-
Place on a parchment-lined tray and freeze for 20–30 minutes, or until firm.
-
-
Coat the Truffles:
-
Melt white chocolate and coconut oil together in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
-
Dip each frozen truffle into the melted chocolate using a fork or skewer, letting the excess drip off.
-
Place coated truffles back on the parchment paper.
-
-
Decorate:
-
While the coating is still wet, sprinkle with strawberry crumbs or pink sprinkles.
-
Chill until the coating is set (about 10 minutes in the fridge).
-
Notes
-
Store truffles in the fridge for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 1 month.
-
Don’t skip the freeze-dried strawberries—they add real fruit flavor without extra moisture.
-
For a chocolate-strawberry version, use dark chocolate coating instead of white chocolate.
