Notes

*Neufchâtel (lower fat) or vegan cream cheese also work.
**Thawed-and-patted-dry frozen strawberries or finely crushed freeze-dried strawberries work here.
***Milk, dark, or white chocolate chips will work.
Tips:
  • Pat strawberries dry before mixing.
  • Use softened (not melted) cream cheese.
  • Freeze truffles before dipping in chocolate.
  • Dip only a few truffles at a time to prevent melting.
  • Let melted chocolate cool slightly for smoother coating.
  • Tap off excess chocolate for a clean finish.
  • Serve truffles slightly chilled, not frozen.
  • These truffles make great decorations for chocolate strawberry cake or chocolate covered strawberry cupcakes.
  • Nutritional information does not include optional ingredients.
Double Boiler Method: Melt the chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water. Stir until smooth, then remove from heat before dipping.
Make-Ahead: Prepare and freeze uncoated truffles up to 1 month in advance. Dip in chocolate just before serving.
Storage: Store strawberry truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or in the freezer for up to 1 month.
