Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz (225 g) white chocolate chips or bars
- ⅓ cup (80 ml) heavy cream
- ⅓ cup (80 ml) pink champagne
- 2 tbsp (28 g) unsalted butter, softened
- 2 tbsp (15 g) powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
- 6 oz (170 g) white chocolate for coating
- Pink sanding sugar or edible glitter (optional)
Instructions
- Chop the white chocolate finely (if using bars) and place in a heatproof bowl. (5 minutes)
- Heat the cream, pink champagne, and butter in a small saucepan over medium heat until just simmering, do not boil. (3–5 minutes)
- Pour the hot mixture over the chopped white chocolate, let sit for 2 minutes, then whisk gently until smooth and glossy. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract if using; whisk again. (5 minutes)
- Cover and refrigerate the ganache for at least 2 hours or until firm but pliable. (2 hours or overnight)
- Scoop portions of ganache and roll quickly into 1-inch balls. Place on parchment-lined baking sheet. (15 minutes)
- Chill the shaped truffles in the fridge for 20–30 minutes to firm up before coating. (20–30 minutes)
- Melt the white chocolate coating gently in a double boiler or microwave until smooth. (5 minutes)
- Dip each truffle into the melted white chocolate using a toothpick or fork, let excess drip off, and place back on parchment. Sprinkle with pink sanding sugar or edible glitter if desired. (15 minutes)
- Refrigerate the coated truffles until the coating is set, about 30 minutes. Store in an airtight container in the fridge. (30 minutes)
Notes
Chill ganache until firm but pliable for easier rolling. Use gentle folding to avoid air bubbles. Melt white chocolate slowly in short bursts to prevent burning. Temper white chocolate for smoother coating. Double dip for extra coverage. Store truffles in airtight container in fridge up to 1 week or freeze up to 3 months. Let truffles sit a day after making to deepen flavor.
