Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 255 g white chocolate chips
- 5 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons full-fat cream
- 35 g blueberries (or blueberry powder as a substitute)
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar for rolling
Instructions
- Prepare the Blueberry Mixture: If using fresh blueberries, heat them in a pot with the cream and butter, simmering gently for about 2 minutes while stirring constantly. If using blueberry powder, warm the cream first, add the butter, then stir in the powder and simmer for 2 minutes, stirring continuously.
- Blend the Mixture: Use an immersion blender to puree the blueberry mixture until smooth with no blueberry bits remaining for a silky texture.
- Temperature Check: Ensure both the blueberry mixture and melted chocolate are warm and at similar temperatures to prevent butter from separating when combined.
- Melt the White Chocolate: Using a double boiler, melt the white chocolate chips gently, keeping the temperature below 105°F (40°C) to avoid overheating while maintaining warmth.
- Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the blueberry mixture to the melted white chocolate, stirring thoroughly to combine evenly into a smooth batter.
- Chill the Mixture: Transfer the mixture to a sealed container and refrigerate for 2 to 3 hours, or overnight. Stir occasionally with a fork or use an immersion blender to prevent fat separation and maintain smoothness.
- Form the Truffles: Line a surface with wax paper. Scoop small portions using a tablespoon or small ice cream scoop and roll into 1-inch balls with your palms.
- Coat the Truffles: Roll each ball in powdered sugar to create a delicate outer coating, then place them in a sealed container.
- Storage: Keep the truffles refrigerated until ready to serve. They remain fresh for up to one week in the fridge and can be frozen for extended storage.
Notes
- Use blueberry powder as a substitute for fresh blueberries to intensify blueberry flavor without extra moisture.
- Keep the melted white chocolate below 105°F to prevent it from seizing or becoming grainy.
- Stirring occasionally during chilling prevents fat separation and ensures smooth texture.
- Roll truffles quickly to keep mixture from warming and softening too much in your hands.
- Store truffles in a sealed container to maintain freshness and prevent moisture absorption.
