Main Ingredients
- 8 oz high-quality white chocolate chips or bars
- 1/2 cup fresh blueberries (or dried blueberries finely chopped)
- 1/3 cup heavy cream
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Optional for Coating
- Powdered sugar or cornstarch, for dusting
- Cocoa powder
- Crushed pistachios, almonds, or hazelnuts
- Freeze-dried blueberry powder
- Prepare the Blueberries: If using fresh blueberries, wash and dry thoroughly. Optionally, cook them down gently with a little sugar until jam-like, then let cool completely. Alternatively, chop dried blueberries finely to mix directly into the ganache.
- Melt the White Chocolate: Chop the white chocolate into small pieces. Melt slowly using a double boiler or microwave in short bursts, stirring frequently until smooth and glossy.
- Make the Ganache Mixture: Heat the heavy cream until it just begins to simmer. Pour it over the melted white chocolate and let sit for one minute. Stir until fully combined and silky. Add softened butter and vanilla extract, stirring until smooth and shiny. Gently fold in the prepared blueberries to maintain some texture.
- Chill the Mixture: Transfer the ganache to a shallow dish, cover, and refrigerate for 2-3 hours or until firm enough to scoop and shape.
- Shape the Truffles: Using a small cookie scoop or spoon, scoop portions of chilled ganache and quickly roll between your palms to form bite-sized balls. Work fast to avoid melting. Place truffles on a parchment-lined tray.
- Coat and Finish: Optionally roll truffles in powdered sugar, cocoa powder, crushed nuts, or freeze-dried blueberry powder for extra flavor and presentation. Store in the refrigerator until serving.
