How to Make Saffron Scented White Chocolate Truffles

  1. Finely chop 200g of high-quality white chocolate and place it in a heatproof bowl.
  2. In a small saucepan, gently heat 100ml heavy cream, 1 tablespoon honey, and a pinch of saffron threads (about 1/4 teaspoon). Bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally, until the saffron color infuses the cream.
  3. Remove the cream mixture from the heat and immediately pour it over the chopped white chocolate. Let it sit for a minute, then gently stir until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth and glossy.
  4. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the surface of the truffle mixture to prevent a skin from forming. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until firm enough to roll into balls.
  5. Once firm, use a small spoon or a melon baller to scoop out small portions of the truffle mixture. Roll each portion into a ball between your palms.
  6. Roll the truffles in powdered sugar or cocoa powder. Refrigerate for another 30 minutes to allow the coating to set before serving.
