Ingredients
Scale
Truffle Mixture
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs
Chocolate Coating
- 8 oz chocolate (dark, milk, or white), melted
Instructions
- Prepare baking sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent the truffles from sticking while setting.
- Make truffle base: Puree the hulled fresh strawberries until smooth. In a bowl, combine the pureed strawberries with softened cream cheese and graham cracker crumbs, mixing thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and consistent.
- Chill mixture: Refrigerate the strawberry mixture for 30 minutes to allow it to firm up for easier handling.
- Shape truffles: Using a small scoop or spoon, portion out the mixture and roll each into 1-inch balls. Arrange the balls on the prepared baking sheet.
- Coat with chocolate: Melt the chocolate gently until smooth. Dip each strawberry ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated, then place back on the parchment paper.
- Optional decoration: Drizzle additional melted chocolate over the coated truffles or sprinkle with extra graham cracker crumbs for added texture and visual appeal.
- Set and serve: Chill the coated truffles in the refrigerator until the chocolate is firm. Serve the truffles cold for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Use fresh, ripe strawberries for the best flavor and sweetness.
- Softened cream cheese is easier to mix; leave it at room temperature for about 30 minutes before using.
- Choose your preferred chocolate type (dark, milk, or white) to customize the truffles to your taste.
- Store the truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- For a festive touch, consider rolling the truffles in crushed nuts or coconut flakes instead of graham cracker crumbs.
