So what are you waiting for? Let’s get trufflin’
Nothing says Christmas quite like a bowlful of homemade truffles. Whether they’re Peppermint Oreo Truffles or creamy Peanut Butter Balls, truffles are perfect for sharing.
I’m a big fan of my Dark Chocolate Ganache Truffles that I shared with you recently. They just about melt-in-your-mouth and are ridiculously easy to make. So I just knew I had to do a white chocolate spin-off.
My first few attempts for these truffles tasted amazing – I mean white chocolate + cream = hello! – but the texture wasn’t quite right. White chocolate is very different to regular chocolate and because of its make-up, it doesn’t hold its shape in the same way.
A little tweaking though, and voila! Perfect White Chocolate Truffles. A little more white chocolate, a dash a butter and a little less cream than my regular truffles, and you have a sweet treat that rolls perfectly 👌🏻
The finishing touch? Shredded coconut. It adds an extra element of flavour and texture and contrasts perfectly with the ultra rich and creamy white chocolate filling. I first discovered the match of coconut and white chocolate in these brownies, and since then, I can’t get enough.
Of course, if you’re not a coconut fan, you could roll these truffles in anything. Chopped nuts, Oreo crumbs, sprinkles or you could dip them in dark chocolate for a sweet contrast.
Tips for making perfect truffles
- Choose a good quality chocolate. I recommend a block of chocolate or chocolate melts. You can use baking chocolate, from the baking aisle, but just choose a nice brand. If you like eating the chocolate by itself, you are good to go. If you don’t like it straight from the packet, don’t use it in these truffles.
- Use thickened or heavy cream – it shouldn’t be whipped but it should have a high fat content (a least 35%).
- Depending on the chocolate and the cream you use (it can vary country to country), your truffles may need a little longer to set. Once you can roll them into a ball using your hands, you are good to go. If the mixture is too soft, leave it in the fridge for longer or transfer to the freezer for 15-30 minutes before rolling.

- 20 grams unsalted butter
- 60 ml (1/4 cup) thickened or heavy cream

Instructions
- Place chocolate, butter and cream in a heatproof bowl. Stir to coat.

Can’t wait to make this, do you think I can swap out heavy cream for coconut milk to make a coconut white chocolate truffle?
Jessica Holmes says
Oh that’s an interesting idea! I’d maybe try with coconut cream as it’s thicker and has a higher fat content like cream?
Angel says
Just made these, not too sweet when rolled in coconut yet Such a light yet creamy treat, very moreish. I did combine the ingredients (top quality), with a double boiler on the stove- it just took a little longer than it would in the microwave but so worth it, try it yourself, it’s easy!

Brilliant! Love hearing that Angel!
Cherry says
Hi, I’ve tried making these. Amazing simple instructions however both times the butter just oozes out to the point where I’m having to drain it…. Any ideas why?
Thank you so much

Jessica Holmes says
Oh dear. Is that when you melt the cream, chocolate and butter together? Do you mean it doesn’t incorporate? It could be the type of chocolate you are using, perhaps see if another brand/type works differently. And be sure that no water is in the bowl, as that can cause the mixture to split. Failing that, you can try omitting the butter.
Ann Watson says
i love these truffles as do all my family and friends. Can I ask how long you would recommend storing them in the fridge. Ann
Jessica Holmes says
I’m so glad you like them Ann! I would keep them for up to 5 days (assuming the expiry for the cream is further in advance), otherwise just pop them in the freezer.
Elodie says
I tried them once and they were delicious i am about to make them again
YUM!!!
Jessica Holmes says
Yay! Love hearing that Elodie!
Laura says
Can you skip the butter?
Jessica Holmes says
Yes you could if you like.
Demi says
I’m looking forward to making these, guessing they last as long as the cream date?
Jessica Holmes says
Hi Demi, I’d keep these in the fridge for 5-7 days.
Nafisa says
Hello
When i melted chocolate cream n butter
The batter splitted
Jessica Holmes says
Sorry to hear that Nafisa. Sometimes this can be a temperature issue (if it’s too hot). An alternative method would be warming your cream and then placing the chopping chocolate in it. Leave it for 5 minutes before stirring until smooth.
Stephanie says
Hi, these look so good! Do you know if they freeze well?
Jessica Holmes says
Hi Stephanie, yes they would!
Terri Taylor says
I only have half n half. Can I make it work?
Jessica Holmes says
Hi Terri, I haven’t tried this myself but I think since it’s such a small amount it should be ok! Let me know how you go.
