FAQs
Can I use regular chocolate instead of white chocolate?
Yes, you can! Just keep in mind that it will change the flavor of the truffles.
Can I make these truffles ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can make them a day or two in advance. Just store them in the fridge until you’re ready to serve.
What if I don’t have strawberry extract?
You can use fresh strawberry puree instead, but it might alter the texture a bit. Just make sure to adjust the amount of heavy cream to avoid making the mix too wet.
