Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

For the truffle centers
  • 1 package (1 oz) freeze-dried strawberries finely ground
  • 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese softened
  • 0.5 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
For the coating
  • 12 oz white chocolate melting wafers

Equipment

  • 1 food processor
  • 1 rimmed baking sheet

Method
 

Make the truffle centers
  1. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Grind the freeze-dried strawberries into a fine powder in a food processor.
  3. Beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla in a medium bowl until smooth, then mix in the graham cracker crumbs and ground strawberries until evenly combined.
  4. Refrigerate the mixture for 30 minutes, until firm enough to scoop.
  5. Scoop the mixture into 24 portions, about 1 tablespoon each, roll into balls, and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
  6. Refrigerate for 20 to 30 minutes, until firm.
Coat the truffles
  1. Microwave the white chocolate wafers in a microwave-safe bowl at 50% power in 30-second intervals, stirring between intervals, until smooth.
  2. Dip each chilled truffle in the melted chocolate, let the excess drip off, and return it to the baking sheet.
  3. Refrigerate for about 20 minutes, until the coating is set.
  4. Store the truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Notes

For neat coating, let excess chocolate drip off each truffle before placing it back on the baking sheet. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days; freezer-friendly for up to 2 months. Use gluten-free graham cracker crumbs for a gluten-free version.
