Almond Butter and White Chocolate Truffles

Wickedly delicious and so simple to make! This fool proof recipe, with my important tip, will make you look like a truffle pro! So read on.

These exquisite truffles are truly an enticing dessert and also can be great gifts……only if you are able to part with them! I had a hard time letting them go even as long as  I was photographing them. luckily, I did not need all of them for the pictures 🙂

So are you excited to make them? Let me begin by telling you about the everyday ingredients I used for these truffles. I got fresh almond butter at Whole foods. These come out great with peanut butter too, by the way. I added a tablespoon coarsely pistachios in the filling because I like the taste of almonds and pistachios together but peanuts or almonds can be substituted for that too.

Step 1 is to make the almond butter centers by just mixing the ingredients and making them into little balls. Freeze them for 15 minutes, which gives us time to fetch the white chocolate and the m&ms.

Step 2, dunk them in the melted chocolate and add the candy/decoration on top! Be sure to read my tip below for making the coating look awesome!

For the coating, white chocolate squares worked better than using white chocolate chips for this recipe, in my experience. And here is the tip that makes one look like a pro. The oil added to the chocolate when melting gives it a sheen even with the shortcut method of melting the chocolate in the microwave!

And now, here is the goof proof recipe-

Note : For a kesar-elaichi flavored filling, substitute the vanilla essence with 1/4 teaspoon of cardamom powder and a few strands of saffron, warmed and crushed.

Enjoy!
