No-Bake Patriotic Truffles - Easy Candy Desserts for Memorial Day & 4th of July
Ingredients
- 12 oz high-quality white chocolate, roughly chopped (about 2 cups)
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, cut into small cubes
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- Small pinch of kosher salt
- 1 cup red, white, and blue sprinkles (divided use)
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients
Start by measuring and chopping all ingredients so everything is ready to go. - Combine Base Ingredients
In a medium microwave-safe bowl, add the chopped white chocolate, butter, heavy cream, and a pinch of salt. - Melt the Mixture
Microwave the mixture in 30-second intervals. After each interval, stir thoroughly. Continue this process until the chocolate is fully melted and the mixture looks smooth and glossy. - Fix Separation (If Needed)
Occasionally, the mixture may separate, leaving a layer of melted butter on top. If this happens, don’t worry. Transfer the mixture to a blender or food processor and pulse briefly until it becomes smooth and fully combined. Then pour it back into the bowl. - Add Sprinkles to Filling
Stir in 1/4 cup of the sprinkles, mixing evenly so each bite will have a bit of crunch and color. - Chill the Mixture
Press a sheet of plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the mixture to prevent a skin from forming. Place it in the refrigerator for 60–90 minutes, or until it becomes firm enough to scoop. - Prepare Coating Station
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Pour the remaining 3/4 cup sprinkles into a shallow bowl. - Shape the Truffles
Using a teaspoon or small scoop, portion out the mixture and roll into 1-inch balls. - Coat with Sprinkles
Roll each ball in the sprinkles until fully covered. - Final Shaping
Gently roll the coated truffle between your palms to help the sprinkles stick firmly. - Set and Store
Place each finished truffle onto the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with remaining mixture. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Allow to sit at room temperature before serving for best texture.
