Preparation
- Gently heat blueberries with a little water in a saucepan until soft, then mash and stir in sugar and vanilla.
- For a smoother purée, press it through a fine-mesh sieve, then let it cool completely.
- Place chopped white chocolate in a heatproof bowl, and heat heavy cream until simmering, then pour over the chocolate and let sit for 5 minutes.
Combine & Chill
- Stir the white chocolate and cream mixture until smooth, then mix in the cooled blueberry purée until well combined.
- Cover the ganache with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the surface, and refrigerate for 2-3 hours until firm.
Roll & Decorate
- Portion out the chilled ganache and roll into bite-sized balls between your palms, placing them on parchment paper.
- Melt additional white chocolate, dip each truffle, and decorate with sprinkles or nuts while the coating is still wet.
- Refrigerate briefly to set the coating before serving.
Notes
For best results, use high-quality white chocolate. Truffles can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
