Ingredients
- A generous portion of rich heavy cream
- Finely chopped bar of semisweet chocolate, weighing 4 ounces
- Finely chopped bar of bittersweet chocolate, weighing 4 ounces
- Softened unsalted butter, a tablespoon of it
- Vanilla extract, just a touch at ½ teaspoon
- A hint of fine sea salt, just ⅛ teaspoon
- Coatings:
- Delicate freeze-dried strawberries in a small 0.81-ounce package
- 10 starlight hard peppermint candies for a refreshing touch
- Unsweetened cocoa powder, a quarter cup of it
- Powdered peanut butter (like PB2®), a quarter cup
Step 1
Begin by gently heating the cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until it starts steaming, which usually takes about 5 minutes. In the meantime, take a moment to unite the semisweet and bittersweet chocolate with butter in a medium bowl. Once the cream is steaming, pour it over the chocolate mixture and allow it to sit for a minute. Proceed to stir everything until the mixture is completely melted and smooth. Enhance the mixture with a hint of vanilla and a pinch of salt. Transfer the velvety ganache into a shallow dish, like a pie plate, cover it, and let it cool in the refrigerator until it reaches a scoopable consistency, which typically takes around 30 minutes.
Step 2
Next, prepare the strawberries by placing them in a mini food processor and pulsing them until finely chopped, ensuring they are not powdered. Transfer the chopped strawberries into a small bowl.
Step 3
For an added burst of flavor and texture, place the mints in a zip-top bag and gently crush them with a mallet about 5 times until they are coarsely crushed. Transfer the crushed mints into a separate small bowl. Additionally, set up small bowls for the cocoa powder and powdered peanut butter.
Step 4
Now, it's time to shape the ganache into delectable truffles. Scoop out tablespoonfuls of the ganache and roll them into balls, keeping in mind that the warmth of your hands can soften the ganache if it has firmed up. Place the formed truffles on a plate lined with parchment paper.
Step 5
To add a variety of flavors, roll three truffles in each of the prepared coatings, gently pressing to ensure they stick. Once done, chill the truffles until you are ready to serve and enjoy this delightful treat.
