Ingredients

Scale

Basic Ingredients

  • 8 ounces high-quality white chocolate chips or chopped white chocolate bars
  • 1/3 cup dried blueberries, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For Coating

  • Powdered sugar, for dusting or coating

Optional Boosters

  • Freeze-dried blueberry powder or blueberry jam (to taste)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Ganache Base: Gently heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until it just begins to simmer—avoid boiling. Pour the hot cream over chopped white chocolate in a heatproof bowl. Let it sit for a minute to soften, then stir gently until the mixture is smooth and glossy.
  2. Add Blueberries and Butter: Fold in finely chopped dried blueberries and softened unsalted butter into the ganache, ensuring the butter is fully incorporated. Add in vanilla extract here for an extra layer of flavor, stirring until everything is combined into a luscious mixture.
  3. Chill the Mixture: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until the ganache is firm enough to shape. Chilling solidifies the ganache and makes it easier to roll into truffles.
  4. Shape the Truffles: Using a teaspoon or melon baller, scoop small portions of the chilled ganache and quickly roll between your palms to form smooth balls. Work swiftly to avoid warming the mixture too much.
  5. Coat and Finish: Roll the truffles in powdered sugar, crushed freeze-dried blueberries, or your preferred coating. Place them on a parchment-lined tray and refrigerate for another 30 minutes to set before serving.

Notes

  • Use high-quality white chocolate for the best flavor and texture.
  • Keep the ganache chilled to make shaping easier and prevent melting.
  • Use a small spoon or cookie scoop for consistent truffle sizes.
  • Mix dried and freeze-dried blueberries for a satisfying chewy and crunchy texture.
  • Store truffles refrigerated in an airtight container and consume within one week.
  • Freeze for up to 3 months by first freezing them on a tray, then transferring to a freezer-safe container.
  • Allow truffles to reach room temperature before serving for best texture.
