Servings 20 truffles

Ingredients
  

  • 1/3 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon salted butter softened
  • 8 ounces white chocolate
  • cup freeze-dried blueberries pureed into dust
  • 3 tablespoons dried blueberries
  • 4 ounces white chocolate
  • powdered sugar

Instructions
 

  • Fill a medium pot one-third full with water; bring to a boil.
  • Reduce heat until simmering and place a heat-proof bowl over the pot. (The bowl should be big enough not to submerge and small enough to rest on the rim.)
  • Add cream and butter to bowl.
  • Stir occasionally until butter melts.
  • While melting, chop 8 ounces of white chocolate into small pieces.
  • Add white chocolate, stirring continuously.
  • When chocolate is fully melted, stir in freeze-dried blueberry powder; mix well.
  • Remove from heat and add dried blueberries, stirring to combine.
  • Transfer to a pie plate.
  • Refrigerate, uncovered, for 2 hours.
  • Line a large plate or tray with parchment paper.
  • Using a teaspoon, scrape a small amount of mixture from the bowl.
  • Using hands, roll into a ball approximately 1 inch in diameter; place on parchment paper.
  • Repeat until all mixture is used.
  • Place tray of truffles in refrigerator for 15 minutes.
  • Place remaining 4 ounces of white chocolate in a small bowl and microwave in 30 second increments, stirring after each, until melted.
  • After 15 minutes, remove baking sheet from refrigerator. Place one trufflel in melted chocolate and roll until fully coated.
  • Using a fork, return coated truffle to parchment lined plate or tray.
  • Repeat with remaining balls, and refrigerate for 10 minutes to set.

Notes

Instead of coating the truffles with white chocolate, they also can be rolled in powdered sugar. This should be done immediately after rolling the truffles and before the second round of refrigerating.
