Ingredients

Scale

Truffle Base

  • 12 graham cracker sheets
  • 1 oz bag freeze-dried strawberries
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened to room temperature (brick style cream cheese recommended)
  • 3/4 cup powdered sugar

Coating & Decoration

  • 16 oz white chocolate or vanilla almond bark
  • Optional: Reserved 1 Tbsp strawberry graham cracker crumbs for decorating
  • Optional: Sprinkles for topping

Instructions

  1. Crush Graham Crackers: Place the 12 graham cracker sheets into a food processor and pulse until they are finely crushed into crumbs.
  2. Add Freeze-Dried Strawberries: Add the 1 oz bag of freeze-dried strawberries to the food processor and pulse until the strawberries are well blended with the crumbs, creating a strawberry graham cracker crumb mixture.
  3. Reserve Crumbs for Decoration: If desired, scoop out 1 tablespoon of this strawberry graham cracker crumb mixture and set aside to use later for decorating the truffles.
  4. Incorporate Cream Cheese: Add the softened cream cheese to the food processor and blend until the mixture is smooth and evenly combined, forming a creamy base for the truffles.
  5. Add Powdered Sugar: Finally, add 3/4 cup of powdered sugar and blend again until fully incorporated, creating a smooth and slightly sweet truffle mixture.
  6. Form Truffle Balls: Using a small cookie scoop or spoon, portion out the mixture into small balls and place them evenly spaced on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  7. Freeze the Truffles: Place the baking sheet with the formed truffles in the freezer for 15 to 30 minutes. This step firms them up to make coating easier later.
  8. Melt White Chocolate: While the truffles chill, melt the 16 oz of white chocolate or vanilla almond bark in a microwave-safe bowl using short 20-30 second bursts, stirring well between intervals until smooth and fully melted.
  9. Roll and Shape: Once chilled, roll each truffle gently between your hands to ensure smooth, round balls prior to dipping.
  10. Dip in Chocolate: Using a fork, carefully dip each truffle ball into the melted white chocolate, fully coating it. Tap the fork lightly on the edge of the bowl to remove excess coating.
  11. Set on Parchment: Transfer the coated truffles back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet to allow the chocolate shell to harden.
  12. Use Cake Tester/Toothpick: A cake tester or toothpick can be used to help release the truffles from the fork without damage.
  13. Decorate: If desired, transfer any leftover white chocolate into a piping or plastic bag, snip a small tip, and drizzle the chocolate over the set truffles. Then, sprinkle the reserved strawberry graham cracker crumbs or sprinkles on top for extra texture and presentation.
  14. Chill to Set: Place the decorated truffles in the refrigerator and chill for at least 1 hour until fully set and firm.
  15. Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator or freezer to maintain freshness and texture.

Notes

  • Using brick style cream cheese and allowing it to soften to room temperature ensures smoother blending and texture.
  • Freezing the truffle balls before coating helps prevent them from breaking apart during dipping.
  • Microwaving white chocolate in intervals with stirring prevents burning.
  • Decorating with reserved crumbs adds a nice texture contrast and pretty finish.
  • These truffles are best enjoyed chilled.
  • Store in refrigerator for up to 1 week or freeze for longer storage.
