Description
3-ingredient chocolate strawberry truffles made with coconut milk, dark chocolate, and freeze-dried strawberries. Try pairing with Rosso wine!
Ingredients
- ~5 dark chocolate bars (10 oz.), chopped
- 2/3 cup full-fat canned coconut milk
- 1.2 oz freeze-dried strawberries (+ more for rolling in)
- 90+ Cellars Lot 90 Rosso Toscano, for serving
Instructions
- Add the freeze-dried strawberries to a high speed blender and process until you have a fine pink dust. Allow the strawberry dust to settle for a few moments before taking off the blender lid.
- Place the strawberry powder into a medium-sized heat-safe mixing bowl with the finely chopped chocolate.
- Heat the coconut milk in a small saucepan over medium heat until it starts to simmer.
- Immediately add coconut milk to chocolate bowl and loosely cover with a lid to trap the heat inside. Allow to melt completely for the next 3-5 minutes. Lift the cover and use a mixing spoon to gently stir. Continue stirring until completely melted, creamy, and smooth.
- NOTE: If, for some reason, you have unmelted pieces left, pop the mixture in the microwave for 10-15 seconds to encourage more melting.
- Set the mixture in the refrigerator to chill uncovered for 2-3 hours, or until almost completely solid.
- Use a cookie scoop, scoop out ~1 Tablespoon balls of the chilled mixture then use your hands to roll the chocolate into balls. If the truffle dough sticks to your hands, try wetting them with a splash of water before rolling out.
- Toss in balls in strawberry powder to coat and shake off excess. There should be about 12- 16 truffles, depending on how large you make them.
- Enjoy truffles immediately or refrigerate for 1-2 hours to continue to firm up. Try pairing with a glass of 90+ Cellars Lot 90 Rosso Toscano!
- Store truffles covered in the refrigerator for up to one week and freeze for longterm storage.
- For best serving, let the truffles sit outside of the fridge for 10-15 minutes before serving to soften.
