    There’s something so romantic about chocolate.

    That’s what makes treats like these Strawberry Truffles perfect for Valentine’s Day, anniversaries, or any time you want to spoil your loved ones! While truffles may seem like a fancy dessert, they’re surprisingly easy to make.

    You only need five ingredients and about 15 minutes of hands-on time.

    My favorite part about these easy Strawberry Truffles is how the crushed freeze-dried strawberries look against the smooth white chocolate.

    Well, besides the taste, of course! They truly are as delicious as they are beautiful.

    Whether you want to spoil that special someone or you’re looking for a decadent dessert to treat yourself, I highly recommend these Strawberry White Chocolate Truffles.

    They’re the kind of indulgence that I know will put a smile on your face!

    Ingredients for Making This Strawberry Truffle Recipe

    • White chocolate — You can use chocolate chips or a chocolate bar. Make sure to chop it finely, so it melts easily.
    • Heavy cream — This is important for the smooth yet firm texture of the truffles.
    • Butter — Use salted butter to help bring out the flavor of the chocolate.
    • Vanilla extract — Quality is important! Having a good brand of vanilla extract makes a big difference in the final taste of your Strawberry Chocolate Truffles.
    • Strawberries — You will need freeze-dried strawberries.

    Tips & Tricks

    • I used chocolate chips, but if you have a white chocolate bar it will melt even smoother.
    • You can also use milk or dark chocolate if you prefer. Any chocolate will pair well with the strawberries.
    • Using a small cookie scoop will give you nice, smooth truffles. I recommend using a scoop rather than forming the truffles with a spoon or your hands.

    Serving Suggestions

    • Easy to make Goat Cheese and Gruyere Fondue turns any night into a celebration!
    • Avocado Pesto Pasta is the kind of simple meal that still feels indulgent thanks to the rich creaminess and wonderful flavor.
    • This gorgeous Mediterranean Chicken Breast is perfect for entertaining or impressing that special someone.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Can I use chocolate instead of white chocolate?


    You bet! You’ll follow the same instructions, just swap out the white chocolate chips or bar for milk or dark chocolate.

    Is this a no-bake recipe?


    There is no need to fire up the oven for this Strawberry Truffle Recipe! The mixture will come together in a saucepan on the stove then set in the refrigerator.

    What are Freeze Dried Strawberries?


    The process of freeze-drying strawberries removes the moisture from the fruit to give the pieces a nice crunch. That’s why they go so perfectly with the smooth chocolate of the truffles.

    Can I Use Fresh Strawberries?


    Unfortunately, fresh strawberries won’t work for this recipe. The fruit has too much water so that the pieces won’t stick to the chocolate.

    Can I use milk or half and half instead of heavy whipping cream?


    The heavy whipping cream is essential for creating the smooth yet firm texture of the truffles. I do not recommend substituting a different form of dairy, or you risk the truffles not firming up.

    What makes a truffle a truffle?


    A truffle is a round treat made from a thick, rich mixture of chocolate and cream. They are often confused with bonbons, which are similar in size and shape but may contain fillings like caramel or buttercream. Truffles are chocolate all the way through.

    Do truffles need to be refrigerated?


    Yes they do. Because they’re made with heavy cream, you don’t want to leave them at room temperature for too long.
