Equipment

  • Baking Sheet
  • silicone baking mat
  • handheld mixer
  • Food Processor
  • silicone spatula
  • wooden spoon
  • medium heat-proof bowl
  • Double boiler
  • candy dipping tools

Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs (about 10 full sheet graham crackers)
  • 4 ounces full-fat brick cream cheese
  • cup confectioners’ sugar
  • cup finely diced strawberries
  • 10 ounces white chocolate (coarsely chopped)
  • 1 drop red or pink food coloring (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Set aside.
  • Using a handheld mixer or a food processor, mix the graham cracker crumbs, cream cheese, and confectioners’ sugar together. It may not come together at first, but if you keep mixing—and even use your hands for a minute—it will all come together to form 1 big clump. With a silicone spatula or wooden spoon, stir in the strawberries. The mixture will be wet from the strawberries.
  • Drop balls—about 1.5 – 2 teaspoons of mixture per truffle—onto the lined baking sheet. Chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. During this time, the truffles will 'set' making them easier to roll into smooth balls. Roll into smoother balls after they’ve been refrigerated. Place back into the refrigerator as you melt the chocolate.
  • Melt the white chocolate in a double boiler or the microwave. (Alternatively, you can temper the chocolate.) If using the microwave: place the chocolate in a medium heat-proof bowl. Melt in 15 second increments in the microwave, stirring after each increment until completely melted and smooth.
  • Dip each truffle completely into the chocolate using a dipping tool or a fork. Tap the dipping tool gently on the side of the bowl to allow excess chocolate to drip off. Place balls back onto the baking sheet after you dip each one. Stir food coloring into any leftover chocolate, then drizzle over truffles. Refrigerate for 30 minutes or until chocolate has completely set before serving.

Notes

You can prepare the truffles through step 3 and keep in a container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days until ready to coat in chocolate. Layer truffles in a tupperware between parchment paper for storing.
