Strawberry Truffles 🍓😋

Ingredients:

• For the Truffle Mixture:

• 8 oz white chocolate, chopped
• ¼ cup heavy cream
• 1 tbsp unsalted butter
• 1 tsp strawberry extract
• A few drops of pink food coloring (optional)

• For Coating:

• ½ cup freeze-dried strawberries, crushed into a fine powder
• ½ cup powdered sugar (optional)

Directions:

Prepare the truffle mixture: In a heatproof bowl, combine chopped white chocolate, heavy cream, and butter. Place over a pot of simmering water (double boiler) and stir until the mixture is smooth and melted. Remove from heat.
Add strawberry flavor and color: Stir in the strawberry extract and a few drops of pink food coloring to achieve your desired shade.
Chill the mixture: Cover the bowl and refrigerate for about 2 hours, or until the mixture is firm enough to handle.
Shape the truffles: Once firm, scoop small amounts of the mixture (about 1 teaspoon) and roll into balls.
Coat the truffles: Roll each truffle in crushed freeze-dried strawberries for a burst of strawberry flavor and color. For a softer look, you can also roll some in powdered sugar.
Chill again: Place the coated truffles on a lined baking sheet and refrigerate for another 30 minutes to set before serving.
