These creamy strawberry truffles are rich, smooth, and bursting with flavor. Perfect for any occasion!

  • Total Time: 1 hour 20 minutes (including chilling)
  • Yield: 12 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter
  • 3 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
  • ½ teaspoon strawberry extract
  • ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 drop pink food coloring
  • ¼ cup powdered sugar

Instructions

Start by placing your white chocolate chips in a medium bowl. This ensures they’re ready for the hot cream mixture.

Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Once melted, stir in the heavy whipping cream and bring it to a gentle simmer. Keep a close eye on it—if it boils too hard, it might separate.

As soon as the mixture reaches a simmer, pour it over the white chocolate chips. Let it sit for about 1 to 2 minutes. This allows the heat to soften the chocolate before stirring.

Add the strawberry extract, vanilla extract, and a drop of pink food coloring. Whisk everything together until the mixture is smooth and well combined. If you notice unmelted chocolate bits, pop the bowl in the microwave for 15-second intervals, stirring each time, until fully melted.

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to 1 hour. The mixture should firm up but still be scoopable.

Using a cookie scoop or spoon, take about 1 to 1½ tablespoons of the chilled mixture and roll it into a ball between your palms. It may be a little sticky at first, but working quickly helps.

Roll each truffle in powdered sugar, coating them evenly. If you want an extra decorative touch, roll them a second time just before serving for a fresh, snowy look.

Refrigerate the truffles for another 30 minutes to 1 hour to set before enjoying.

Notes

Serving and presentation ideas

These truffles look stunning on a dessert platter, especially if you mix them with other flavors like chocolate or lemon truffles. Place them in mini cupcake liners for a polished touch. If gifting, arrange them in a small box with tissue paper for a homemade treat that feels extra special.
