Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 4 ounces (113 grams) homemade pistachio butter
- 10 ounces (283 grams) white chocolate melting wafers
Garnish:
- Ground pistachio
Instructions
- Create a double boiler by placing a heatproof bowl over a pot of gently simmering water, ensuring the bottom of the bowl doesn’t touch the water.
- Carefully melt pistachio butter and white chocolate together in the bowl, stirring occasionally until the mixture becomes smooth and fully integrated.
- Remove the chocolate mixture from heat and transfer to the refrigerator, allowing it to cool and solidify for approximately 45 minutes until it reaches a moldable consistency.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prepare for truffle shaping.
- Using a small ice cream scoop or spoon, carefully portion the chilled mixture into 13 uniform balls, working quickly to prevent the mixture from warming.
- Return the shaped truffle portions to the refrigerator for an additional hour to enhance their firmness.
- Set up a second double boiler to melt the remaining white chocolate, stirring until completely smooth and glossy.
- Dip each truffle into the melted chocolate, using a fork to lift and allow excess chocolate to drip off.
- Place the chocolate-coated truffles back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet, immediately sprinkling ground pistachios over the top before the chocolate sets.
- Refrigerate the completed truffles for 30-45 minutes to ensure the chocolate coating hardens completely.
- Serve the truffles chilled or at room temperature, presenting these elegant pistachio white chocolate treats.
Notes
- Prep these truffles ahead of time as they require multiple chilling stages, making them perfect for advanced preparation.
- Keep ingredients at consistent cool temperatures to ensure smooth texture and easy handling during truffle formation.
- Melt chocolate gently over simmering water to prevent burning and maintain silky consistency.
- Use a fork when dipping truffles to allow excess chocolate to drain smoothly and create clean, professional-looking treats.
- Ground pistachios add delightful crunch and visual appeal, transforming simple truffles into elegant dessert bites.
- Store truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days to maintain optimal flavor and texture.
