Ingredients
Method
- Heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan until hot but not boiling. Pour it over the finely chopped white chocolate and let sit for 2 minutes to soften the chocolate.
- Stir gently until the mixture is smooth and creamy to form the truffle filling.
- Add lime zest, fresh lime juice, vanilla extract, and a few drops of green food coloring if desired. Stir until fully combined.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 2 to 3 hours until firm enough to scoop into balls.
- Use a small scoop or spoon to form bite-sized balls. Place on a parchment-lined tray and chill for 30 minutes to hold shape.
- Melt the white chocolate for coating. Tint part of it with green candy or oil-based food coloring if desired.
- Dip each truffle into the melted white chocolate coating. Let excess drip off, then immediately sprinkle crushed and finely ground pistachios over the wet coating.
- Drizzle remaining melted white chocolate over the coated truffles for a decorative finish. Let the coating set completely at room temperature or in the fridge.
- Arrange truffles with fresh lime slices and mint leaves for garnish. Serve chilled and enjoy!
Notes
