White Chocolate and Pistachio Truffles

Step by step

1. Step 1

   Chop the white chocolate and set it in a heat-resistant bowl.

2. Step 2

   Heat the whipping cream in a saucepan over medium heat until it begins to simmer gently. Take it off the heat and pour it over the white chocolate.

3. Step 3

   Let it sit for 1 minute and then stir until the mixture is entirely smooth. Add the vanilla extract, the salt, the chopped pistachios, and the extra virgin olive oil and mix well.

4. Step 4

   Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 hours until the mixture is firm but malleable.

5. Step 5

   Form small balls using a spoon or slightly moistened hands.

6. Step 6

   Coat the truffles in crushed pistachios, shredded coconut, or the coating of your choice. Keep them refrigerated until ready to serve.

7. Step 7

   Before serving, you can drizzle each truffle with a few drops of citrus-infused extra virgin olive oil, vanilla, or a pinch of salt flakes. This will enhance the pistachio flavor and add a little gourmet flair.
