Easy Strawberry Truffles Recipe
I love making these strawberry truffles because they're no-bake, require just a handful of basic ingredients, and come together in minutes. The creamy strawberry and cream cheese center is coated in smooth white chocolate, creating an irresistible treat that looks as beautiful as it tastes.
Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh strawberries cup finely chopped
- 8 oz cream cheese softened
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups white chocolate chips
- 1 tbsp coconut oil (optional for smoothness)
- ½ cup crushed graham crackers (optional, for coating)
Instructions
- In a bowl, mix chopped strawberries and cream cheese until smooth.
- Gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until fully incorporated.
- Shape the mixture into small balls using your hands or a spoon and chill in the fridge for 30 minutes.
- In a heatproof bowl, melt white chocolate and coconut oil in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between.
- Dip the chilled truffles into the melted white chocolate and coat completely. Roll them in crushed graham crackers if desired.
- Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet and chill again until the chocolate is set.
Notes
- Make Ahead: These strawberry truffles can be made ahead and stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
- Customizing the Flavor: Add a bit of lemon zest to the filling for a citrusy twist, or dip in dark chocolate for a richer taste.
- Serving Suggestions: Serve as a sweet treat for parties, celebrations, or a simple dessert after dinner. Pairit with a cold glass of milk or a cup of coffee.
- Allergy-Friendly Options: For a dairy-free version, use dairy-free cream cheese and chocolate. For a gluten-free version, skip the graham cracker coating or use gluten-free alternatives.
- Storage Tips: Store in an airtight container in the fridge. These truffles can be frozen for up to 3 months—thaw before serving.
