Strawberry Fudge Truffles
Ingredients:
– 1 cup fresh strawberries, washed and hulled
– 2 cups white chocolate chips
– 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
– 1/4 cup powdered sugar
– Sprinkles or chopped nuts for decoration (optional)
Instructions:
1. Place the fresh strawberries in a blender or food processor and puree until smooth. Transfer to a small saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the puree reduces by about half. This should take approximately 10-15 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
2. In a separate saucepan, combine the white chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk over low heat. Stir continuously until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth and well combined.
3. Stir in the vanilla extract and the cooled strawberry puree into the chocolate mixture. Mix well until everything is fully incorporated.
4. Remove the mixture from heat and let it cool to room temperature. Cover the saucepan with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 3 hours or until the mixture is firm.
5. Once the mixture has set, use a melon baller or a teaspoon to scoop out small portions of the fudge mixture. Roll each portion into a ball and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
6. In a small bowl, combine the unsweetened cocoa powder and powdered sugar. Roll each fudge ball in the cocoa mixture until evenly coated. Repeat this process for all the fudge truffles.
7. If desired, decorate the truffles with sprinkles or chopped nuts by gently pressing them onto the surface of the truffles.
8. Refrigerate the Strawberry Fudge Truffles for another 30 minutes to set the coating.
