Ingredients
- 10 ounce chocolate melts high quality
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 40 grams freeze-dried strawberry powder about 1 oz
Instructions
- Prep a baking sheet with parchment paper that will fit in your fridge for later.
- Place chocolate melts into a large bowl and set aside.
- In a saucepan, warm heavy whipping cream on low heat until actively bubbling. Stir semi-regularly to prevent it from sticking.
- When fully warmed through, pour heavy cream to cover chocolate melts and allow it to sit for one minute. Whisk until smooth and the chocolate is fully melted
- Cover and refrigerate for about 4 hours until set and thick (it is ready when you can place a 1 tablespoon scoop on prepared baking sheet, and it holds it structure.
- Do this for all the mixture (you should get about 35, and chill for about 20 minutes, or until you can roll them into a ball without them sticking to your hands (a thin layer of chocolate sticking is normal).
- Roll each truffle in the strawberry powder and place on a fresh parchment sheet, then repeat and roll again in powder after 10 minutes.
- Store in the fridge.

Notes
- Be careful not to add too much heavy cream to the chocolate, or it could keep your ganache from setting.
- Only freeze-dried strawberries or strawberry powder will work in this recipe; fresh fruit will not.
- Heat the cream gently over low heat to keep it from getting too hot and curdling.
