White Chocolate Truffles

White chocolate truffles are an easy no-bake treat that only requires four ingredients.

I really thought making truffles would be more difficult. It turns out truffles are simply ganache that you've let set overnight before rolling it in cocoa powder. That's it.
Making these white chocolate truffles requires no baking : you only have to melt the chocolate, butter and cream in a bain-marie, add in some icing sugar, and then wait for it to set. You'll then have to shape the truffles by rolling them between your palms, then coat them with cocoa powder or sprinkles.

Here are a few tips if you're going to make white chocolate truffles :
- The ganache has to be complety set before you start trying to shape the truffles. I let mine set for a day, but overnight should be enough.
- If the truffles start to melt as you roll them, chill them in the fridge for a couple of minutes.
- Rolling them in cocoa powder was a lot easier than rolling them in sprinkles (I used chocolate jimmies). It's not impossible to coat them in sprinkles, but it does take a lot more patience as they don't stick to the white chocolate truffle as well as cocoa powder does. I had to place some of the jimmies myself, and that meant keeping the truffles between my fingers, which made them melt easily.
- If you roll the white chocolate truffles in cocoa powder, gently tap them on the plate to remove the excess cocoa powder.

200g of white chocolate
45g of heavy whipping cream
20g of unsalted butter

Put the white chocolate, cream and butter in a heatproof bowl, and set it over a saucepan of boiling water.

Stir until the chocolate and butter have melted and everything is incorporated.

Take the bowl off the saucepan and whisk in the icing sugar.

Cover with cling wrap and let rest at room temperature overnight.

Shape the truffles : use a melon baller to scoop up the truffles, or a spoon, before rolling the truffles between your palms.

Put the cocoa powder or sprinkles in a small plate and roll the truffles until evenly coated.
