Instructions
- Step 1: Puree 1 cup hulled fresh strawberries in a blender until smooth, then strain through a fine mesh sieve to remove seeds, yielding about 1/2 cup strawberry puree.
- Step 2: Heat 1/4 cup heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat just until it begins to simmer. Remove from heat and pour over 6 oz white chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl. Let sit for 2 minutes, then stir until smooth. Stir in the 1/2 cup strawberry puree until fully incorporated.
- Step 3: Cover mixture and refrigerate for at least 2 hours until firm enough to shape.
- Step 4: Using a small spoon, scoop and roll the chilled mixture into 1-inch balls, then roll each in 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder to coat. Place on a parchment-lined tray and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Step 5: Melt 8 oz chopped dark chocolate with 1 tbsp unsalted butter in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
- Step 6: Dip each truffle ball into the melted dark chocolate using a fork, letting excess drip off, then place back on parchment paper. Refrigerate until the chocolate sets, about 20 minutes.
