Strawberry Bites (Printable Version)
Soft, pink treats with the sweet taste of strawberry, creamy white chocolate inside, and a powdered sugar coat. They’re so quick and fun to whip up!
# Ingredients:
01 -
¼ cup powdered sugar
02 -
1 drop pink food coloring
03 -
½ teaspoon strawberry extract
04 -
¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
05 -
3 tablespoons heavy cream
06 -
¼ cup unsalted butter
07 -
1 cup white chocolate chips
# Steps:
01 -
Place the white chocolate chips in a medium-sized bowl and keep nearby.
02 -
Melt butter in a small pan, mix the heavy cream in, and let it gently bubble over medium heat.
03 -
Once the mixture starts to bubble, pour it over the white chocolate chips. Let it rest for a minute or two so the chocolate melts.
04 -
Whisk in the extracts and food coloring until the mixture is silky smooth and combined perfectly.
05 -
If the chocolate stays lumpy, pop it in the microwave for 15-second intervals until melted completely.
06 -
Put plastic wrap over the bowl and chill it in the fridge for about half an hour up to an hour.
07 -
Scoop out 1 to 1½ tablespoons of the mixture, shape into little balls, and coat them in powdered sugar.
08 -
Pop the truffles back into the fridge for 30 to 60 minutes before serving.
# Notes:
01 -
Some methods include cooked-down fresh strawberries for a gooey center, but it’s not a fit here. Strawberry extract hits the sweet spot with a clear strawberry flavor.
02 -
If the mixture starts to look separated, don’t stress. Keep stirring until everything glides together again, using either a whisk or silicone spatula.
03 -
A short chill makes the mix easier to scoop and roll, though longer chilling gives a firmer texture. If it’s tough to scoop after an hour, use a metal spoon or cookie scoop. Once rolled and powdered, they should be ready to enjoy!
