Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 200g white chocolate chips
  • 50g dried blueberries
  • 120ml heavy cream
  • 30g unsalted butter
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Powdered sugar, for coating (about 50g)
  • Optional: 1 tsp lemon zest

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Ganache: Heat the heavy cream and unsalted butter in a small saucepan over medium heat until just about to simmer. Pour this warm mixture over the white chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl, let it sit for a couple of minutes, then stir gently until smooth and glossy.
  2. Add Blueberries and Flavorings: Fold in the dried blueberries and vanilla extract carefully to ensure even distribution without breaking the berries. If using lemon zest, add it now to brighten the flavor.
  3. Chill the Mixture: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the ganache for at least 2 hours or until firm enough to scoop. This step is essential for achieving the perfect truffle texture.
  4. Shape the Truffles: Using a small cookie scoop or spoon, portion out the chilled ganache and roll it quickly between your palms to form smooth, even balls. Work fast to prevent melting.
  5. Coat the Truffles: Roll the shaped truffles in powdered sugar or, for an indulgent touch, dip them in melted white chocolate and sprinkle with crushed dried blueberries or lemon zest.
  6. Final Chill and Serve: Place the finished truffles on a parchment-lined tray and refrigerate for another 30 minutes to set the coating. Serve chilled or at room temperature for the best experience.

Notes

  • Choose quality white chocolate with high cocoa butter content to avoid graininess and enhance flavor.
  • Ensure dried blueberries are completely dry to prevent adding moisture that can affect ganache consistency.
  • Avoid overheating the cream or chocolate to keep the ganache smooth and silky.
  • If your hands warm up while shaping the truffles, cool them under cold water to maintain the shape.
  • Store truffles in a cool, dry place or refrigerated to keep them fresh and prevent melting.
