Description
Pistachio White Chocolate Truffles are a delightful treat that combines the rich flavors of white chocolate and pistachios, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup shelled pistachios, finely chopped
- 8 ounces white chocolate, chopped
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar (for coating)
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it begins to simmer. Remove from heat and add the chopped white chocolate, stirring until melted and smooth.
- Stir in the vanilla extract and salt.
- Fold in the finely chopped pistachios, reserving a tablespoon for garnish.
- Cover the mixture and refrigerate for about 2 hours, or until firm enough to handle.
- Once the mixture is firm, use a small cookie scoop or your hands to form small balls (about 1 inch in diameter).
- Roll each truffle in powdered sugar to coat, then place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Garnish with the reserved chopped pistachios on top of each truffle.
- Refrigerate the truffles for an additional 30 minutes to set before serving.
Notes
- For a flavor twist, add a teaspoon of almond extract instead of vanilla.
- You can substitute the pistachios with finely chopped almonds or hazelnuts for a different nutty flavor.
