How to Make White Chocolate Truffles

  1. Heat 1 cup heavy cream in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a gentle simmer.
  2. Remove from heat and stir in 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter until completely melted and smooth.
  3. Add 12 ounces finely chopped white chocolate to the cream mixture. Stir gently and continuously until the chocolate is fully melted and the mixture is smooth and glossy.
  4. Pour the mixture into a shallow, wide dish (like a pie plate or baking dish).
  5. Cover the dish with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the surface of the chocolate to prevent a skin from forming. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until firm enough to roll.
  6. Once firm, use a small spoon or melon baller to scoop out 1-inch portions of the chocolate mixture.
  7. Roll each portion into a ball between your palms.
  8. Roll the truffles in your choice of finely chopped nuts (almonds, pecans, pistachios) or shredded coconut.
  9. Place the finished truffles on a parchment-lined baking sheet and chill for another 30 minutes before serving to allow the coating to set.
