These indulgent White Chocolate Truffles are a delicious gluten free and vegan alternative to shopbought versions and would make the perfect homemade Christmas gift for someone special this year!
These require just four ingredients, one of which is optional, and are really easy to make! I love the additional of the pistachio crumb with the white chocolate to add some texture and you could also try pressing a whole pistachio into the centre of these truffles if you fancied. The pistachios can be omitted if need be and I purposely used coconut flour as opposed to an almond flour when creating this truffle recipe so it can easily be made nut free.
Originally, I had hoped to make these truffles in the exact same way I make my Hazelnut Chocolate Truffles, (you can find the recipe for them here), however, dairy free white chocolate and dairy free creams can be a little bit temperamental so I found there was less room for error when the coconut flour is included. This way you do not have to worry about any air bubbles or over stirring the mixture! Just make sure you do not boil the cream when simmering and you will not go wrong!
The quality of the ingredients in a recipe like this really matters so make sure you use a tried and tested dairy free white chocolate that you know tastes good and melts well so it doesn’t ruin these truffles. I like to coat the top of the truffles in the melted white chocolate before dipping them into the pistachio crumb, however, if you prefer you could simply drizzle the melted white chocolate over the top and then sprinkle on the pistachios.
Please note that the ‘prep time’ stated includes the time needed for these truffles to set! How many truffles you create will depend on the size of the balls you roll but I generally get around 8 to 10 from one batch.
