Possible Ingredient Alternatives
White chocolate can be replaced with dark chocolate or milk chocolate for different flavor profiles and potentially increased antioxidants. Use the same amount and adjust melting time as needed. Greek yogurt can be substituted with coconut cream for a dairy-free option, maintaining a creamy texture. Use slightly less coconut cream, as it’s thicker than yogurt. Strawberries can be swapped with raspberries or blueberries for variety in flavor and nutritional benefits. Use the same quantity of berries, adjusting for size differences. For the optional coating, finely ground nuts or cocoa powder can be used instead of sugar, offering added nutrients and reducing sugar content. Use enough to lightly coat the truffles.

Ingredients
- 4 ounces genuine white chocolate
- 1/3 cup unsweetened plain greek yogurt (2% chobani)
- 2 strawberries, with tops removed
- Optional: roll in powdered or sparkling sugar
Step 1: Melt the White Chocolate
Start by chopping the white chocolate into small pieces.
Place the pieces into a microwave-safe bowl and heat them in the microwave on LOW power.
Use 15-second pulses to melt the chocolate, stirring well after each pulse.
This process helps to evenly melt the chocolate without overheating.
Be cautious not to let it get too hot, as it can seize.
If seizing occurs, try adding a small amount of yogurt and mix well to smooth it out.
Step 2: Combine with Yogurt and Chill
Once the white chocolate is smoothly melted, stir in the yogurt until fully combined.
Place the mixture in the refrigerator to chill for about 1 hour.
This will help it firm up, making it easier to handle in the next steps.
Step 3: Prepare the Strawberries
While the white chocolate mixture is chilling, take this time to chop the strawberries into bite-size pieces.
This will make them easier to insert into the truffle balls later on.
Step 4: Form and Fill the Truffles
Once the chocolate mixture is firm, work quickly to scoop teaspoon-size portions and roll them briefly in your hands to form balls.
Insert a piece of strawberry into each ball, using extra chocolate mixture to seal it in.
Ensure the strawberry is fully encased within the chocolate for the best results.
Step 5: Optional Coating and Final Chill
For added flavor and texture, you can roll the truffles in powdered sugar or sugar crystals.
This step is optional but highly recommended for a delightful finishing touch.
After coating, chill the truffles in the fridge for an additional hour before serving.
Store any uneaten truffles in the refrigerator to keep them fresh.
