This recipe uses simple yet premium ingredients to create a gourmet-level treat.

Ingredients

For the Ganache Filling:

  • 1 cup fresh blueberries (or frozen, thawed)
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 8 oz high-quality white chocolate, finely chopped
  • ¼ cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • A pinch of salt

For the Coating:

  • 10 oz white chocolate (for dipping)
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil or cocoa butter (for smooth melting)
  • Blueberry powder or edible glitter (for decoration, optional)
  • Fresh blueberries (for garnish, optional)


Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Blueberry Ganache

  1. Cook the Blueberries

    • In a small saucepan over medium heat, add blueberries and sugar.
    • Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the berries release their juices and soften.
    • Mash with a fork or blend until smooth.
    • Strain through a fine-mesh sieve to remove skins and seeds (optional for a smoother filling).

  2. Melt the White Chocolate

    • Place 8 oz of finely chopped white chocolate in a heatproof bowl.
    • Heat the heavy cream in a separate saucepan until steaming but not boiling.
    • Pour the hot cream over the white chocolate and let sit for 2 minutes.

  3. Combine and Chill

    • Stir the white chocolate mixture until smooth.
    • Add strained blueberry puree, vanilla, butter, and a pinch of salt.
    • Mix well, then cover and refrigerate for 2-3 hours, or until firm enough to scoop.


Step 2: Shape the Truffles

  1. Scoop and Roll

    • Once the ganache is firm, use a small spoon or melon baller to scoop out portions.
    • Roll each portion into a smooth ball and place them on a parchment-lined tray.
    • Freeze for 30 minutes to set.


Step 3: Coat with White Chocolate

  1. Melt the Coating

    • Melt 10 oz of white chocolate with 1 tablespoon of coconut oil or cocoa butter over a double boiler or in short microwave bursts.
    • Stir until smooth.

  2. Dip the Truffles

    • Using a fork or dipping tool, dip each truffle into the melted white chocolate.
    • Let excess chocolate drip off, then place it on a parchment-lined tray.
    • Before the coating hardens, sprinkle with blueberry powder, edible glitter, or a fresh blueberry on top.

  3. Chill to Set

    • Refrigerate for 15-20 minutes until the coating is completely firm.
