Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup (175 g) white chocolate chips
- 1 1/2 cups (265 g) white chocolate chips or candy melts
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) heavy cream
Flavor Enhancers:
- 2 tablespoons blueberry jam or puree
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon lemon zest (optional)
Optional Coating and Garnish:
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil or vegetable shortening (optional)
- Crushed freeze-dried blueberries
- Blue and white sprinkles
- Edible glitter
Instructions
- Combine white chocolate and cream in a microwave-safe bowl, heating in short 20-second intervals until completely melted and smooth.
- Gently fold blueberry jam, vanilla extract, and optional lemon zest into the melted chocolate mixture, ensuring thorough incorporation.
- Transfer the filling to the refrigerator, covering securely, and allow it to chill for 1-2 hours until it reaches a scoopable consistency.
- Using a small cookie scoop or spoon, carefully shape the chilled mixture into uniform 1-inch spherical truffles.
- Arrange the shaped truffles on a parchment-lined baking sheet and place in the freezer for 30 minutes to firm up.
- Prepare the coating by melting white chocolate and coconut oil together in the microwave, stirring between 20-second intervals until glossy and smooth.
- Remove truffles from freezer and delicately dip each one into the melted white chocolate coating, gently tapping to remove excess.
- Place the chocolate-coated truffles on fresh parchment paper, working quickly to sprinkle desired toppings before the chocolate sets.
- Allow truffles to set at room temperature or expedite the process by refrigerating for 10-15 minutes until the coating hardens completely.
Notes
- Use high-quality white chocolate for a smoother, richer flavor that melts perfectly and ensures a creamy truffle texture.
- Opt for seedless blueberry jam to prevent unwanted seeds in the filling, creating a silky-smooth consistency.
- Work quickly when shaping and coating truffles to prevent melting, keeping hands cool by rinsing with cold water periodically.
- Experiment with alternative coatings like crushed freeze-dried blueberries or toasted coconut for added crunch and flavor variation.
