Recipe Notes
- You should use freeze-dried strawberry slices, not powder.
- If you don't have a food processor, just place half of the strawberries inside parchment paper and use a rolling pin to create the strawberry powder.
Here's how to make it:
- Place a piece of parchment paper on a baking sheet. Set aside. Put the strawberry slices in a food processor and blend until it becomes a powder.
- Take 1 cup of the white chocolate chips and place them into a medium bowl.
- Heat the cream in a saucepan or microwave until it just starts to simmer. Pour the warm milk over the white chips and let them sit for 1 minute. Stir until the mixture is smooth. If the chips are still not completely melted, place in microwave for 15 seconds and stir again.
- Add the strawberry powder to the white chocolate mixture and stir until it is combined. Make sure to use a spatula to mix the bottom of the chocolate with the powder. This is your ganache filling. Place the bowl into the refrigerator to set for 1 to 2 hours. The strawberry filling will have the texture of ice cream when it's ready.
- Take the ganache out of the fridge and, using a spoon or small ice cream scoop, roll about 1 tablespoon of the filling into a ball and place it on the parchment paper-covered baking sheet.
- Continue until all the filling is rolled and place back into the freezer for 15 minutes.
- Remove the ganache from the freezer and melt the chocolate. Place 1 cup of chocolate chips of your choice (I used white and semisweet) and 1 tablespoon of coconut oil in a bowl and melt in the microwave 30 seconds at a time.
- Stir until the chocolate is fully melted.
- Using two forks, dip the strawberry ganache in the melted chocolate and try to drip off as much excess as possible and place back on the parchment. Continue until they are all dipped then place into the fridge for 5 minutes.
- If there are any extra truffles, store in an airtight container in the fridge!

And..."If you don't have a food processor, just place half of the strawberries inside...". Are we then to infer that we do this twice, in order to use the entire 1 cup of slices?
Thanks so much!
