Ingredients
Scale
1. For the Cheesecake Filling:
- 8 oz cream cheese (room temperature)
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- ¼ cup freeze-dried strawberries (finely ground)
- 3 tbsp fresh strawberries (finely chopped)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 4 oz white chocolate (melted and slightly cooled)
2. For the Coating:
- 8 oz white chocolate (for dipping)
- 1 tsp coconut oil or cocoa butter (optional)
- Freeze-dried strawberry powder (for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare the Filling: Beat the cream cheese until smooth. Mix in powdered sugar, vanilla, and freeze-dried strawberries. Fold in fresh strawberries and melted white chocolate until smooth.
- Chill: Cover and refrigerate the mixture for at least 1-2 hours until firm.
- Roll the Truffles: Scoop small portions of the chilled mixture and roll into smooth balls. Place on a parchment-lined tray and freeze for 20-30 minutes.
- Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave, melt white chocolate in 15-second bursts, stirring each time. Add coconut oil if needed for a smoother consistency.
- Coat the Truffles: Dip each truffle into the melted white chocolate, ensuring a thin, even coating. Let the excess drip off before placing them back on the tray.
- Garnish and Chill: Sprinkle with freeze-dried strawberry powder and refrigerate until set (about 30 minutes).
Notes
- For a smoother texture, sift the powdered sugar before mixing.
- If the filling is too soft, freeze it for an extra 10-15 minutes before rolling.
- Store in the fridge for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
