Ingredients
12 oz white chocolate (high-quality, chopped)
½ cup heavy cream
1 tbsp unsalted butter
½ tsp vanilla extract or almond extract
Pinch of salt
For Coating:
8 oz white chocolate or white candy melts, melted
Optional toppings: powdered sugar, crushed freeze-dried berries, shredded coconut, or edible glitter
Instructions
Make ganache filling
In a saucepan, heat heavy cream and butter until just simmering. Remove from heat and pour over chopped white chocolate. Let sit 1–2 minutes, then stir until smooth. Add vanilla and salt.
Chill
Cover and refrigerate the ganache for 1–2 hours or until firm enough to scoop.
Shape truffles
Scoop and roll mixture into 1-inch balls. Place on a lined tray and chill again for 20 minutes to firm up.
Coat
Melt coating chocolate. Dip each truffle into the chocolate using a fork or dipping tool, then place on parchment. Decorate immediately with desired toppings.
Set & serve
Let truffles set at room temperature or refrigerate for faster setting. Store in an airtight container in a cool place.
