INGREDIENTS
Ganache Base
- 🥛 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
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/8 teaspoon fine sea salt
Coatings
- 🍓 1 (0.81 ounce) package freeze-dried strawberries
- 10 starlight hard peppermint candies
- 🍫 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup powdered peanut butter (such as PB2®)
STEPS
Heat cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until steaming, about 5 minutes.
Combine semisweet and bittersweet chocolate with butter in a medium bowl. Pour hot cream over the chocolate and let stand for 1 minute. Stir until melted and smooth. Stir in vanilla and salt.
Pour the mixture into a shallow dish, cover, and refrigerate until the ganache is scoopable, about 30 minutes.
Process freeze-dried strawberries in a mini food processor until finely chopped (not powdered), about eight 1-second pulses. Place in a small bowl.
Place mints in a zip-top bag and crush coarsely with a mallet. Transfer to a separate small bowl.
Place cocoa powder and powdered peanut butter in separate small bowls for the coatings.
Scoop tablespoonfuls of ganache and roll into balls. Place on a parchment-lined plate.
Roll three truffles in each coating, pressing to adhere. Chill until ready to serve.

💡 Tips
