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.
