Answer 1

Strawberry Truffles

1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, at room temperature
4 cups powdered sugar
1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
6 ounces white chocolate, melted and cooled (use dark chocolate, if desired)
20 medium strawberries, cleaned and hulled
1/4 cup crystallized ginger, finely minced
1/2 cup toasted coconut (see note below)
1/2 cup pistachio nuts (or other nuts)

Beat the cream cheese, sugar and grated ginger until smooth. Add the white chocolate and mix well. Chill at least 1 hour or until easy to handle. If necessary, place in freezer, stirring occasionally, for 30 minutes.

Using a very small melon baller, scoop out the center of each strawberry halfway down each fruit. Pat berry dry inside and out. Put a small amount crystallized ginger into each strawberry. Shape the cream cheese mixture around each fruit.

Coat one end in coconut and the other end in pistachio nuts(or other nuts). Place the truffles in candy cups. Chill until serving time. Enjoy!

Note: To toast coconut, heat in a dry skillet over medium heat until it starts to brown. Stir occasionally. Be careful not to burn.

Answer 3

strawberry truffles are gone.


Ingredients

20 oz 70% cocoa content chocolate
1 cup cream
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1/4 cup dehydrated strawberries
1 tsp cornstarch
Makes 40 truffles.


Directions

Break up 11 ounces of the chocolate into smaller pieces. Put pieces into a blender and pulse into fine bits.

Bring cream to a simmer, while stirring constantly. Remove cream from heat and add balsamic vinegar to the hot cream (but not simmering anymore).

Add hot cream with vinegar into blender already filled with chocolate bits and blend for 15 seconds.

Pour the mixture (also called ganache) into a glass loaf pan. Cover pan and let cool at room temperature. Once the truffle ganache has set to a firm consistency, refrigerate for several hours. Cover well before refrigerating.

Scoop out portions with an ice cream scooper or big tablespoon and create thumb tip sized truffle pieces. Once the truffles are done, it's time to coat them with fine chocolate.

Prepare a double boiler. Chop the rest of the dark chocolate into fine pieces and heat carefully until melted.

Remove from the heat and stir. Now coat the truffles as thinly as possibly with the warm (not hot) chocolate.

Prepare the dehydrated strawberries. Blend them until they are in powdered form. Add corn starch and stir.

Drop the chocolate-coated truffles into the bowl of strawberry powder. Shake gently to coat.

Allow the outer shell to set before gently removing the strawberry powdered truffle. Now place the finished truffle onto a non-stick surface and let settle for a few more minutes.
