Instructions

Prepare strawberries: Wash and dry the strawberries thoroughly to remove any dirt or moisture, then finely chop them to ensure they blend well in the mixture.
Melt white chocolate: Place the chopped white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and heat in 20-second intervals, stirring between each, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth without any lumps.
Mix cream cheese and sugar: In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar. Mix until the mixture is smooth and creamy, then carefully fold in the melted white chocolate to create a uniform base.
Add strawberries: Gently fold the finely chopped strawberries into the white chocolate mixture, taking care not to overmix, which could break down the fruit or make the mixture too runny.
Chill the mixture: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the mixture for at least one hour to allow it to firm up for easier shaping.
Shape truffles: Using a spoon or small scoop, portion out tablespoon-sized amounts of the chilled mixture and roll each into a bite-sized ball with your hands.
Coat truffles: Roll each truffle in cocoa powder until evenly coated, then place them on a parchment-lined tray to set. Refrigerate if needed before serving.

Notes

Make sure the strawberries are very dry after washing to avoid excess moisture in the truffle mixture.
Use high-quality white chocolate for the best flavor and smooth texture.
Chill time is crucial to help the truffles firm up; do not skip or reduce it.
Store the truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator and consume within 3-4 days for optimal freshness.
You can substitute the cocoa powder coating with finely chopped nuts or shredded coconut for variation.
