White Chocolate Truffles

Jump to recipe

When it comes to sweets, a chocolate truffle is considered one of the most decadent one. We love our simple chocolate truffles rolled into cocoa powder and our crunchy dark chocolate truffles full of toasted pistachios.

But dark chocolate truffles aren't the only player in the game - you also can make these creamy sweets with white chocolate. Our simple recipe for silky white chocolate truffles is a great choice for your holidays and parties.

Because white chocolate has such a neutral flavour, you can add different flavouring, combine several and make endless variety. They can be rolled in icing sugar, cocoa powder or dipped in dark or white chocolate to be more stable at room temperature.

Simple white chocolate truffles

Making the chocolate ganache

  1. Chop the white chocolate coarsely, place in a heatproof bowl.

  2. Heat the whipping cream in a small saucepan just to the boil then pour over the chocolate.

  3. Stir or whisk until chocolate is melted, then add butter and whisk again until you get a smooth texture. Pour the mixture into a shallow dish, cover with some aluminium foil and keep in the fridge for 1-2 hours. 



Useful tip

Depending on the chocolate and the cream you use, your truffles may need a little longer to set. Once you can roll them into a balls using your hands, you are good to go. If the mixture is too soft, leave it in the fridge little bit longer or transfer it in the freezer for about 15-30 minutes before rolling.

Roll them into white chocolate shavings until completely covered and place on a small tray lined with aluminium foil. Keep truffles in the fridge until ready to serve.
