No Bake White Chocolate Blueberry Truffle Recipe
CAUTION!!! White Chocolate Blueberry Truffles can cause addiction!!! When you pop the first sweet little ball into your mouth, you will want more and more!
Delicious combo of melted white chocolate and dried blueberries roll into irresistible, purple bite-sized balls, will simply melts in your mouth.
For a very long time (with the exception of French Silk Pie ) chocolate didn’t appear on my blog. Since the blog is called Chocolate Desserts, it has become imperative to get the chocolate back in my kitchen in a big way. And that’s how I came up with this simple and easy no bake recipe. Basic ingredient for these creamy truffles was white chocolate.
I know, many of you won’t agree that white chocolate is really chocolate, but for me it is. However white chocolate is an excellent base for this tasty treat.
An All Natural Blueberry Truffle Dessert
White Chocolate Blueberry Truffles are essentially melted white chocolate combined with mixture of heavy cream and butter to get a smooth, soft texture and became manageable for rolling into balls.
Since the hot weather is coming I wanted to try some of my favorite no bake recipes using new flavors. I’ve already had white chocolate truffle recipes with lemon and orange flavor. I used the extracts for those two, but this time I didn’t want anything artificial, neither color or flavor, so I used pulverized freeze dried blueberries.
Pulverized blueberry powder can be hard to find and expensive but there is an easy way to make it at home. All you need to do is to pulse FREEZE DRIED blueberries in a food processor or coffee grinder. Berries have to be freeze dried!!! Dried fruit is gummy in texture and will not pulverize into powder.
Tips and Tricks on Using White Chocolate:
I have to make a few NOTES about the white chocolate :
- Use high quality white chocolate. Do not use almond bark or chocolate chips.
- Chop the chocolate into really small pieces it will help to melt easier.
- White chocolate has to be melted at very low temperature . Lower temperature means more time to melt so you need to be very patience while melting the chocolate. If you overheat it, the chocolate could separate or size and became unusable. You must melt it at 105 F at most and that means you can just about touch it with your fingers and not burn your finger.
- Heavy cream-butter mixture must be same temperature as chocolate when you combine them. Do not place hot cream into melted chocolate or you will burn it.
- You should cool the mixture to room temperature for an hour or so and stir it from time to time if you notice the fat separated on top.
Follow these few advice and you’ll get a smooth truffle mixture manageable by hand.
Once the truffles is set scoop 1 inch balls, rolled between your palms, then roll each ball into powdered sugar and that’s it! Your yummy White Chocolate Blueberry Truffles are ready!!!
If you like creamy truffles serve them at room temperature. I personally like them cold, straight from the fridge or freezer.
Refreshing blueberry flavor and sweet white chocolate really make amazing combo. You could easily become addicted to these yummy, little bites. Once you try them you’ll know what I’m talking about.

Description
White Chocolate Blueberry Truffles – a simple no bake dessert recipe with only 5 ingredients: white chocolate, butter, heavy cream and dried blueberries, roll into powdered sugar. NO ARTIFICIAL COLOR OR FLAVOR ADDED! White chocolate truffles are the bite-sized treats of your dreams!
Ingredients
- 9 oz. white chocolate-chopped into very small pieces
- 5 Tablespoons unsalted butter-softened
- 3 Tablespoons heavy cream
- 1.2 oz. freeze dried blueberries- powdered (pulse FREEZE DRIED blueberries in a food processor or coffee grinder to make the powder)
- ¼ cup powdered sugar
Instructions
- In a small sauce pan simmer heavy cream. Remove from heat, add softened butter and stir until butter is completely melted and combined with heavy cream. Add powdered dried blueberries and stir to combine. Set aside.
- Over a double boiler melt chopped white chocolate, stirring casually until smooth and completely melted. DO NOT heat above 105 F (if touched with your finger, it will feel about the same temperature as your body).
- Gently stir in lukewarm blueberry mixture into melted chocolate. It should be approximately the same temperature as melted chocolate when you combine them.
- Cool to room temperature, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until firm enough to roll the balls (2-3 hours or overnight). While it’s cooling take it from the fridge and stir with a fork to prevent the fat separate on top. Cover with plastic wrap and place back into the fridge.
- Scoop out the mixture and roll into 1 inch balls. Clean your hands with paper towel after each truffle if the mixture stick too much or you can dust your hands with powdered sugar.
- Roll each truffle into powdered sugar to coat them well. Store in the fridge in airtight container up to 1 week or freeze for longer storage

These are the prettiest truffles ever! Love that lilac colour!
Thanks Grace 🙂
The rotten fruit box is a great source for freeze dried fruit!
Postovana gdjo Zec,
da li biste bili ljubazni, ako ikako mozete, da prevedete heavy cream na srpski – ne znam da li se radi o slatkoj pavlaci, kiseloj pavlaci ili nekoj drugoj vrsti krema…
Hvala unapred,
Katarina Gojkovic
Dear Ms Zec,
would you be so kind as to translate the expression “heavy cream” into Serbian, if possible, because it is difficult to say what type of cream it is, there are different products in Serbian that are translated into English as “cream”…
Thanks in advance,
Katarina Gojkovic
Postovana Katarina, rec je o slatkoj pavlaci.
Poazdrav 🙂
Postovana,
hvala puno, pretpostavila sam, ali nisam bila sigurna…
Thanks a lot!!!!
Srdacan pozdrav iz Beograda
Hvala, pozdrav 🙂
I think normally “heavy” cream is 33%-35% fat and is also called “whipping cream”.
How much powder is made from pulsing the 1.2 oz of blueberries? I want to substitute another fruit powder.
These sound awesome! I don’t eat sweets much, so it’s a rare thing I print out dessert recipes, but I just did! I’ll be trying these on for size soon. 🙂
Could you switch the Heavy Cream for Greek Yogurt so it’s easier for those with Mild Lactose Intolerance can eat them?
Hi Charrine, i think it won’t work, but let me know if you try. I think the mixture would curdle or separate.
I think even if she would try it with the Greek yogurt I bet you could keep these frozen in a freezer bag and eat them as a Lil Bon bons if you will….A Frozen type truffle sounds delish to me….I just got an idea…use the Greek mixture and throw your favorite fruits: Strawberries, Blackberries, Blueberries, etc, and dip them in greek yogurt mixture…then dip in the melted White or regular Chocolate for a crispy, crunchy outer layer & keep them frozen on a Cookie sheet till you can transfer them into a freezer bag…VOILA!!! I cant wait to try my bright idea I just thought of….Charrine sounds like you just gave me a great idea for a frozen type truffle…Thanx 2 heads are better than one!
They’re gorgeous, & sound delicious! You could make strawberry ones by substituting freeze-dried strawberries.
Thanks Linda, it’s a very good idea,I might try it.
Do you think nicer white chocolate chips like the guittard brand would work in this? I have those on hand and am wanting to make these!
Hi Lindy, I haven’t tried this with chocolate chips, sorry, I can’t help. Please let me know if you try 🙂
That is the kind I’ve used with this recipe and they turned out beautifully.
hi i got a question in my country its dificult to find freeze dried fruits… do you think its also possible with fresh fruits, dried or freezed?
Hi Vivi, you could try to pulverize frozen blueberries for the pudding layer and for cream cheese layer you can use either fresh or thawed frozen blueberries.
Sounds yummy cant wait to try it…Why cant you use Almond bark and what Chocolate did you use that you consider High Quality White Chocolate?
Hi Anna, high quality white chocolate means that you should use real chocolate with cocoa butter not almond bark.
Wow! That color is so pretty! Plus they’re so easy to make! Great idea!
Thanks Eden 🙂
I made these and they were amazing! Going to try with freeze dried strawberries next!
These were very easy to make (so far). I have the mixture cooling in the refrigerator, but its not a light lilac color as in the picture but is more of a dark purple. I followed the instructions exactly. Does it get lighter as it cools?
Hi Maryellen, it will get lighter.
Unfortunately it never got lighter. I had to throw it out.
After mixing the ehite chocolate with the blueberry mixture my butter separated. Why did this happen and what can I do to save it?
Mine has done the same thing!!!! Is there any way to save them???
I am so new to cooking so please pardon my ignorance!
How do you freeze dry or dry blueberries? I just went to a blueberry farm and bought some delicious blueberries and have some in the freezer but don’t know how to convert them into this recipe.
Appreciate any help for this first timer!
Beautiful pictures, by the way!
I bought freeze dried blueberries, but I think this method might work for fresh berries.Wash and dry blueberries, then spread them on the plate or tray and set in the freezer for about a week until all the moister is take out from the berries.
I read an article at Trader Joe’s that said their 1.2 oz bag of freeze dried blueberries are made of about 8.5 oz fresh ripe blueberries.
Can you substitute the whole blueberries for blueberry juice? I really want to make these but several people in my family can’t eat seeds, even seeds as small as a blueberry’s.
Hi Erin,I’m sorry but this won’t work with juice.
I have a lot of fresh blueberries can I use fresh blueberries?
Hi Charlotte,you can’t use fresh blueberries for this recipe, they are full of juice and it will make chocolate sizes. But I think this method might work for fresh berries.Wash and dry blueberries, then spread them on the plate or tray and set in the freezer for about a week until all the moister is take out from the berries and you will get homemade freeze dried blueberries.

Hi. How long do you recommend keeping these in the freezer? Thinking about making these in advance for my daughter’s birthday party. Thanks
Dobar dan Vera,
Ovo izgleda fantasticno!!! Imate mere u gramima?
Veliki pozdrav iz Holandije
Dada
Pozdrav Dado, zao mi je nemam mere u gramima.
Would be great with huckleberries!

I made these today. While they are yummy, mine turned out really dark instead of the pretty lavender color. Did you use the entire bag of freeze dried blueberries?

These turned out super dark. Wish they were the light lavender color in the picture.
OMG!! I am so going to try these! As I am allergic to artificial colouring, this is going to work so well! Thx so much for the idea and the recipe♥️

I am always looking for some sugar free recipes. So you ever do any of those?
No, sorry.
I want to try this recipe with freeze dried mango. Could I just put the cream, butter and fruit in the double boiler together with the chocolate? Or does the cream need to simmer?
HI Lisa, I suggest you to follow the recipe, just substitute blueberries with mango
Im currently making this with mango and its not going well at all. As soon as I put the mongo into the cream/melted butter mix it seemed to rehydrate the mongo and make a pulp which then separated out the butter. I went ahead with the recipe and combined with the white chocolate and its just a mess. lots of butter sitting on top…im trying to save it but it isnt looking so good….will update if it turns out okay
Mine has done the same thing. Did your turn out okay?? Really hate to think I’ve wasted $40 worth of ingredients- waaahh
For those of us who don’t have a Trader Joe’s nearby, Target also sells freeze-dried fruit. In my store it is next to the raisins.
[…] in the refrigerator or freezer, so they make a delicious chilled summer dessert. This recipe from OMG Chocolate Desserts contains white chocolate, unsalted butter, heavy cream, dried blueberry powder, and powdered sugar. […]
Would it be ok after the balls are chilled to coat them with melted white chocolate coating or would that be to much??
Hi Kristin, you could do that, it’s totally up to your taste.
Hi just wondering where I can purchase freeze dried blueberries?
I want to to try this receipe but have dried blue berries. You mentioned that Would make the truffles gummy. Is there Any other way around it?
I followed the recipe, and I am waiting for mine to cool, but it is very dark and separated. It this normal, and if not, any idea how I can fix it?
If the mixture is separating, stir it from time to time while it’s cooling.

If I freeze the truffles or frigerate them for several days, then take them out for a party, would they melt when they reach room temperature?
Hi Ellen, if they tour out like they should, they wouldn’t melt. It will became soft at room temperature but won’t melt. You can store them in a fridge for a few days,no need to freeze them.

After mixing the white chocolate and the blueberry mixture the butter got separated. Why did this happen and how can I save it now?
I am an experienced candy maker and the recipe was a waste of expensive white chocolate. Don’t waste your time or money making this.
You can purchase freeze dried blueberries at some Health food stores. I ordered mine from Amazon.
Sorry, this was an epic FAIL. Did no taste like blueberry, only like white chocolate. Very messy job making these.
These were delicious, but mine were bright purple. My butter did separate, and after chilling, I was able to remove some from the top with a paper towel.
Hi Vera,
They don’t sell freeze dried blueberries or any freeze dried fruit in my region in Australia and clearly frozen won’t work with too much water content coming out, but I would really like to give these little beauties a try. Do you have any ideas to change the recipe so I can use what I have available? All I can get my hands on are fresh or frozen blueberries or at a push dried but not freeze dried.
HI Amanda, maybe you could try with dried blueberries. I don’t know, would it work. You can’t make the powder, but try to pulse them in a blender
