Ingredients

(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

• 9 oz white chocolate, chopped into very small pieces

• 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened

• 3 tablespoons heavy cream

• 1.2 oz freeze-dried blueberries, powdered (use a food processor or coffee grinder)

• ¼ cup powdered sugar (for rolling)

Directions

1. In a small saucepan, bring the heavy cream to a gentle simmer. Remove from heat, add the softened butter, and stir until fully melted and combined.

2. Stir in the powdered freeze-dried blueberries and mix well. Set aside.

3. Using a double boiler, melt the chopped white chocolate slowly, stirring until smooth. Do not overheat—keep it below 105°F (about body temperature to the touch).

4. Once both the chocolate and blueberry mixtures are close to the same lukewarm temperature, gently stir the blueberry mixture into the melted chocolate until fully incorporated.

5. Let the mixture cool to room temperature. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2–3 hours or overnight until firm. Stir once with a fork during chilling to prevent fat separation.

6. Once firm, scoop out 1-inch portions and roll into balls. Wipe your hands between each truffle or dust your hands with powdered sugar to prevent sticking.

7. Roll each truffle in powdered sugar to coat evenly.

8. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week, or freeze for longer storage.

FAQs

Can I use fresh blueberries instead of freeze-dried?

No, fresh blueberries add too much moisture. Freeze-dried berries are essential for the right texture and flavor concentration.

What type of white chocolate should I use?

Use high-quality white chocolate bars, not chips, for the best melting and smooth texture.

Can I melt the chocolate in the microwave?

Yes, use 15-second intervals, stirring between each, but be careful not to overheat.

Why did my chocolate seize?

It may have overheated or come into contact with water. Keep chocolate dry and heat gently.

Can I use salted butter?

Unsalted butter is preferred to control salt levels, but salted can work in a pinch—just skip any added salt.

How do I powder the blueberries?

Pulse freeze-dried blueberries in a food processor or coffee grinder until finely ground.

Are these gluten-free?

Yes, all ingredients listed are naturally gluten-free, but always check labels for cross-contamination.

How long do they take to firm up?

Chill for 2–3 hours or until firm enough to roll into balls. Overnight is ideal for best texture.

Can I make these in advance?

Yes, these are perfect for make-ahead treats and store beautifully in the fridge or freezer.

Can I double the recipe?

Absolutely. Simply double all ingredients and allow for a bit more time in each step.
