Ingredients
Scale
Base Ingredients
- 12 graham cracker sheets
- 1 oz bag freeze-dried strawberries
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened to room temperature (brick style)
- 3/4 cup powdered sugar
Coating
- 16 oz white chocolate or vanilla almond bark
Optional for Decorating
- Reserved 1 Tbsp strawberry graham cracker crumbs
- Sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
- Crush Graham Crackers: Place the graham cracker sheets into a food processor and pulse until they turn into fine crumbs.
- Add Freeze-Dried Strawberries: Add the freeze-dried strawberries to the food processor and blend until the strawberries are well combined with the graham cracker crumbs. Optionally, reserve 1 tablespoon of this mixture for garnish later.
- Add Cream Cheese: Add the softened cream cheese to the mixture and blend until smooth and fully combined.
- Add Powdered Sugar: Incorporate the powdered sugar into the mixture, blending until evenly mixed and creamy.
- Form Truffle Balls: Using a small cookie scoop or your hands, scoop the mixture into small, even-sized balls and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Freeze Truffles: Freeze the truffle balls for 15-30 minutes to make them firmer and easier to coat with chocolate.
- Melt White Chocolate: Melt the white chocolate or vanilla almond bark in a microwave-safe bowl by heating in short intervals, stirring until smooth and fully melted.
- Coat Truffles: Remove the truffles from the freezer and ensure they are round and smooth. Using a fork, dip each truffle into the melted white chocolate, tapping off any excess chocolate against the bowl’s edge.
- Set Truffles: Place the coated truffles back onto the parchment paper to allow the chocolate to set.
- Decorate: Use a cake tester or toothpick to help lift truffles off the fork easily. Optionally, drizzle leftover melted chocolate on top using a piping or plastic bag. Then sprinkle the reserved strawberry graham cracker crumbs or sprinkles over the set chocolate coating.
- Chill: Refrigerate the truffles for at least 1 hour to fully set before serving.
Notes
- Use brick style cream cheese softened to room temperature for best texture.
- Freezing the truffles before coating helps the chocolate adhere better and prevents melting.
- Reserve a small amount of strawberry graham cracker crumbs for garnish to enhance presentation and flavor.
- Handle coated truffles gently to avoid damaging the chocolate coating.
- These truffles can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
