Description
Delicious bite-sized treats that capture the flavors of summer, blending sweet strawberries with creamy filling and a crunchy coating of shortcake crumbs.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and chopped
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup whipped cream
- 1 cup shortcake crumbs or crushed buttery cookies
- 1/2 cup confectioners’ sugar
- 8 oz white chocolate, melted
- Optional: 1 tsp vanilla extract or lemon zest
Instructions
- Prepare the Strawberries: Wash and hull the strawberries, chop them into small pieces, and set aside to drain excess juice.
- Make the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine cream cheese and confectioners’ sugar until smooth. Gently fold in the whipped cream and strawberry pieces until well blended.
- Form the Truffles: Use a small cookie scoop or your hands to roll tablespoon-sized portions of the mixture into balls. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Chill truffles in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
- Prepare the Coating: Melt the white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring every 20 seconds until smooth. Allow to cool slightly.
- Coat the Truffles: Dip each chilled truffle in melted white chocolate, letting excess drip off before returning to the baking tray.
- Finish with Shortcake Crumbs: While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle with crushed shortcake or cookie crumbs.
- Chill Again: Allow coated truffles to set in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes until chocolate hardens.
- Serve: Serve chilled or at room temperature on a beautiful platter.
Notes
These truffles can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator or frozen for later enjoyment. Keep in an airtight container.
