White Chocolate Truffles

Easy Truffles with White Chocolate 

White chocolate is the star of this recipe. It is known for its creamy texture and rich, buttery flavor. It melts smoothly, blends effortlessly with other ingredients, and sets perfectly to form the base of your truffles.

These white artisan chocolate truffles start with a creamy ganache that is a bit softer and higher in fat than our white chocolate ganache.

Tips for Success

When making white chocolate truffles, here are a few tips to ensure they come out perfectly every time:

• Ensure your hands are cool to prevent the ganache from melting as you roll the truffles.
• Use high-quality white chocolate for the best flavor and texture.
• While white chocolate chips or white candy melts can be used, a finely chopped chocolate bar results in a smoother ganache and a more gourmet flavor. 
• If your ganache is too soft, chill it in the refrigerator for a bit longer to firm up before shaping the truffles.

Storing Chocolate Truffles

Store the truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. For longer storage, they can be frozen for up to three months.
