Description
A festive and delicious recipe for Red, White, and Blue Truffles, perfect for celebrations.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 1 cup crushed graham crackers
- 1/2 cup sweetened shredded coconut
- 1/2 cup blueberries
- 1/2 cup strawberries, diced
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
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. Stir until melted and smooth. Let cool slightly.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed graham crackers, shredded coconut, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Mix well.
- Once the chocolate mixture has cooled, fold it into the graham cracker mixture until fully combined.
- Refrigerate the mixture for about 30 minutes, or until it is firm enough to handle.
- Once chilled, use a tablespoon to scoop out portions of the mixture and roll them into balls. Place them 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. Return to the baking sheet.
- While the white chocolate is still wet, top each truffle with a few blueberries and diced strawberries for decoration.
- Refrigerate the truffles for at least 30 minutes to set the chocolate.
Notes
- For a festive touch, consider adding red and blue sprinkles on top of the truffles before the white chocolate sets.
- You can substitute the fruit with your favorite berries or nuts for different flavors and textures.
