Description
Delicious and festive Red, White, and Blue Truffles that are perfect for any celebration.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup crushed graham crackers
- 1/4 cup freeze-dried strawberries
- 1/4 cup blue sprinkles
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it just begins to simmer. Remove from heat and add the semi-sweet chocolate chips. Let sit for 2 minutes, then stir until smooth.
- Add the vanilla extract and mix well.
- Transfer the chocolate mixture to a bowl and refrigerate for about 1 hour, or until firm enough to scoop.
- Once the mixture is firm, use a small cookie scoop or your hands to form small balls (about 1 inch in diameter). Place the truffles on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Melt the white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth.
- Dip each truffle into the melted white chocolate, allowing excess to drip off.
- Roll the truffles in crushed graham crackers, then sprinkle with freeze-dried strawberries and blue sprinkles for decoration.
- Place the coated truffles back on the parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for another 30 minutes to set.
- Serve chilled or at room temperature.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, try using dark chocolate instead of semi-sweet.
- You can customize the toppings by using different colored sprinkles or crushed nuts to match any holiday theme.
