Ingredients
Coatings
- 1 (0.81 ounce) package freeze-dried strawberries
- 10 starlight hard peppermint candies
- ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- ¼ cup powdered peanut butter (such as PB2®)
- 2/3 cup heavy cream
- 1 (4 ounce) bar semisweet chocolate, finely chopped
- 1 (4 ounce) bar bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, softened
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/8 teaspoon fine sea salt
Directions
Step 1
Heat cream in a small saucepan over medium until steaming, about 5 minutes.
Step 2
Meanwhile, combine semisweet and bittersweet chocolate with butter in a medium bowl. Pour hot cream over chocolate and let stand for 1 minute. Stir until melted and smooth. Stir in vanilla and salt. Pour into a shallow dish, such as a pie plate, cover, and refrigerate until ganache is scoopable, about 30 minutes.
Step 3
Place strawberries in a mini food processor and pulse until finely chopped but not powdered, about eight 1-second pulses. Place in a small bowl.
Step 4
Place mints in a zip-top bag and whack with a mallet about 5 times until coarsely crushed. Transfer to a separate small bowl. Place cocoa powder and powdered peanut butter in small bowls.
Step 5
Scoop tablespoonfuls of ganache and roll into balls; your hands will warm up the ganache if it got too firm. Place on a parchment-lined plate.
Step 6
Roll 3 truffles in each coating, pressing to adhere. Chill until ready to serve.
Cook’s Note:
I don't recommend using chocolate chips as they won't melt properly.
