White Mountain Truffles
Ingredients:
– 8 oz white chocolate, finely chopped
– 1/4 cup heavy cream
– 1 tbsp unsalted butter
– 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
– Pinch of salt
– White chocolate shavings, for decoration (optional)
Instructions:
1. In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over low heat until it just begins to simmer. Be careful not to boil the cream.
2. Remove the saucepan from the heat and add the chopped white chocolate, butter, vanilla extract, and salt. Let it sit for a minute to allow the heat to melt the chocolate and butter.
3. Gently whisk the mixture until the chocolate is fully melted and the mixture is smooth and shiny.
4. Transfer the mixture to a shallow dish and let it cool to room temperature. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the mixture is firm enough to scoop and shape.
5. Using a melon baller or a spoon, scoop out small portions of the chocolate mixture and roll them into smooth balls. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
6. If desired, you can roll the truffles in white chocolate shavings for an extra touch of elegance. Simply roll the truffles in the shavings until they are evenly coated.
7. Once all the truffles are shaped and decorated, refrigerate them for an additional 30 minutes to set.
8. Serve the White Mountain Truffles on a decorative platter or store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator until ready to enjoy.
