Ingredients You’ll Need

For about 20-24 truffles:

• 9 oz. white chocolate, chopped into very small pieces

• 5 Tablespoons unsalted butter, softened

• 3 Tablespoons heavy cream

• 1.2 oz. freeze-dried blueberries (ground into a fine powder)

• ¼ cup powdered sugar (for coating)

Kitchen Equipment Required

To execute this recipe with ease, have the following tools ready:

• Small saucepan

• Double boiler (or a heatproof bowl over a pot)

• Silicone spatula

• Food processor or coffee grinder (to powder the blueberries)

• Mixing bowl

• Measuring spoons

• Fork

• Small cookie scoop or melon baller

• Wax or parchment paper

• Airtight container for storage

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prepare the Blueberry Cream Base

In a small saucepan, gently simmer the heavy cream. Remove from the heat and add the softened butter. Stir until fully melted and incorporated. Add the powdered freeze-dried blueberries and mix well. Set this aside to cool to lukewarm.

2. Melt the White Chocolate

Place the chopped white chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a pot of gently simmering water. Stir slowly and consistently until fully melted and smooth. Be careful not to exceed 105°F—if it feels like your body temperature when touched, it’s just right.

3. Combine the Mixtures

Once both components are at a similar lukewarm temperature, slowly stir the blueberry cream mixture into the melted white chocolate. Stir gently to avoid creating air bubbles. The result should be a creamy, uniform mixture.

4. Chill and Stir

Let the mixture cool to room temperature, then cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2–3 hours (or overnight). Stir the mixture with a fork halfway through to prevent fat separation. This step ensures the truffles will have a consistent, creamy texture.

5. Roll the Truffles

Once firm, scoop 1-inch portions using a melon baller or spoon. Roll into balls between your palms. If the mixture sticks, clean your hands with a paper towel or lightly dust them with powdered sugar.

6. Coat and Store

Roll each truffle in powdered sugar for a frosted finish. Store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or freeze for up to 1 month.

Tips & Tricks for Success

• Dust your hands with powdered sugar while rolling to reduce stickiness.

• Don’t skip the cooling time—chilled truffle mix is much easier to shape.

• Use freeze-dried, not fresh or frozen blueberries for the intense flavor and right texture.

• To avoid separation, gently stir with a fork during chilling as fat can rise to the top.

Recipe Variations

These truffles are incredibly versatile! Try one of these fun variations:

• White Chocolate Raspberry Truffles: Swap the freeze-dried blueberries for raspberries.

• Lemon Blueberry: Add ½ teaspoon lemon zest to the blueberry mixture for a citrus kick.

• Coated in chocolate: Skip the powdered sugar and dip the rolled truffles in melted white or dark chocolate for a shell coating.

• Crushed nuts topping: Roll the finished truffles in finely crushed pistachios or almonds for extra crunch.

Food & Drink Pairings

These truffles pair beautifully with:

• A glass of champagne or Prosecco

• Light-bodied white wines like Riesling or Moscato

• A lavender or chamomile tea for a calming dessert

• Strong, unsweetened espresso to contrast the sweetness

Serve them on a platter with fresh berries and mint leaves for a gourmet dessert board.

How to Store Leftovers

Refrigerator: Store truffles in an airtight container lined with parchment paper. They’ll stay fresh for up to 7 days.

Freezer: Place truffles in a single layer on a tray and freeze until solid. Transfer to a freezer-safe bag or container. Freeze for up to 1 month. Let them sit at room temperature for 10–15 minutes before serving.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Can I use white chocolate chips instead of a bar?
It’s not recommended. Chocolate chips contain stabilizers that make them harder to melt evenly. Use a high-quality white chocolate bar instead.

What if I don’t have freeze-dried blueberries?
They’re essential for this recipe’s flavor and texture. You can find them in most natural food stores or online.

Can I skip the powdered sugar coating?
Yes! For a smoother finish, roll the truffles in cocoa powder, crushed nuts, or dip them in melted chocolate.

How long do these truffles take to firm up?
2 to 3 hours is the minimum. Overnight chilling gives the best results for rolling.

Can I add alcohol for a grown-up version?
Yes! Try adding 1 teaspoon of Chambord, elderflower liqueur, or blueberry vodka to the blueberry mixture for an adult twist.
