Ingredients
Scale
Chocolate Base:
- 8 oz white chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
Filling:
- 1/2 cup fresh blueberries
- 2 tbsp blueberry preserves
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Coating:
- 8 oz white chocolate (for melting)
- 1/4 cup dried blueberries (for garnish)
- 2 tbsp powdered sugar
Instructions
- Gently melt white chocolate chips with heavy cream in a double boiler, stirring continuously until smooth and glossy.
- Remove from heat and whisk in butter until fully incorporated, creating a silky chocolate ganache base.
- Carefully fold fresh blueberries, blueberry preserves, and vanilla extract into the warm ganache mixture, ensuring even distribution.
- Refrigerate the mixture for 30-45 minutes until firm enough to handle and shape.
- Using clean hands or a small cookie scoop, form the chilled mixture into uniform round truffles, working quickly to prevent melting.
- Place truffles on a parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze for 15 minutes to stabilize their shape.
- Melt remaining white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring every 20 seconds to prevent burning.
- Dip each frozen truffle into melted white chocolate, using a fork to drain excess coating.
- Immediately sprinkle dried blueberries and dust with powdered sugar before the chocolate sets.
- Refrigerate truffles for 10-15 minutes to allow the coating to completely harden.
- Serve chilled and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Notes
- Ensure chocolate melts smoothly by using low, consistent heat and stirring constantly to prevent seizing or burning.
- Work quickly when shaping truffles to maintain their delicate texture and prevent melting from warm hands.
- Use fresh, high-quality blueberries for the most vibrant flavor and natural sweetness in the ganache.
- For a gluten-free option, verify all ingredients are certified gluten-free and avoid cross-contamination during preparation.
