The Story & Intro

Bonjour my friends! ❄️✨ It’s Lacamorea here, and today I’m sharing one of my absolute favorite winter treats: Snowball White Chocolate Truffles. Just saying the words makes me feel like I’m back in my Parisian childhood kitchen, watching powdered sugar float through the air like fresh snow.

I still remember the first time I made Snowball White Chocolate Truffles. I was about 10, way too small for the big apron my mother tied around my waist. She melted the white chocolate while I kept sneaking little spoonfuls when she wasn’t looking. When we rolled the truffles in coconut and sugar, I felt like we were creating tiny edible snowballs magical, delicate, and sweet.

Now that I’m living in the U.S., these Snowball White Chocolate Truffles have become my go-to holiday gift. They’re soft, creamy, melt-in-your-mouth bites that look like miniature snowdrifts. Every time I bring them to a party, someone always asks, “Are these little snowballs?” And I just smile< mission accomplished.

But the best part? They require almost no baking, no special equipment, and they’re absolutely foolproof. Whether you’re making them for Christmas, a winter wedding, Valentine’s Day, or just craving something sweet on a chilly night, Snowball White Chocolate Truffles are always a hit.

And of course, because I’m French, making something beautiful, delicate, and delicious just feels like home. 🇫🇷💙

Here’s exactly how you can create these dreamy, snowy treats in your own cozy kitchen.

Ingredients You’ll Need

✨ Simple, creamy, and absolutely irresistible.

2 cups high-quality white chocolate, finely chopped
½ cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon softened butter
¾ cup shredded coconut (sweetened or unsweetened your choice!)
½ cup powdered sugar
Optional: almond extract, citrus zest, crushed freeze-dried raspberries, or holiday sprinkles

Step-by-Step Instructions

Melt the White Chocolate

Place the white chocolate and butter in a heatproof bowl.
Warm the cream in a small pot until it’s steaming but not boiling.
Pour the hot cream over the chocolate and let it sit for 1 minute.
Stir gently until everything melts into a silky smooth mixture.

Add Flavor

Mix in vanilla extract (and almond or citrus zest if you want a flavor twist!).
You should now have a glossy, creamy mixture that smells heavenly.

Chill the Mixture

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap.
Refrigerate for 2 to 3 hours or until firm enough to scoop.

Form the Truffles

Using a small cookie scoop or a spoon, scoop out small portions of the chilled mixture.
Roll each portion into a ball with your hands.
(It’s messy, but it feels like making snowballs very fun!)

Roll in Coconut and Powdered Sugar

Mix the shredded coconut and powdered sugar in a shallow bowl.
Roll each truffle in the mixture until fully coated.
They should look like fresh little snowballs ❄️✨

Chill Again

Place the finished truffles on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
Chill for 30 more minutes to firm up.

Serving Suggestions

These Snowball White Chocolate Truffles are delicious straight from the fridge, beautifully creamy at room temperature, and stunning when served on a holiday platter. I love adding a touch of edible glitter, crushed peppermint, or dried rose petals for a little winter wonderland magic.

Serve them:
✨ With hot cocoa
✨ On a Christmas dessert board
✨ As edible gifts in a festive tin
✨ At winter weddings or baby showers
✨ With tea for a cozy midnight treat

Conclusion

Making these soft, decadent Snowball White Chocolate Truffles never fails to bring me joy. They remind me of snowy Paris mornings, my mother’s warm kitchen, and the sweet nostalgia of childhood. Now, whenever I share them with friends in America, I feel like I’m bringing a tiny piece of France with me one delicious snowball at a time.

I hope these little snow clouds bring warmth, sweetness, and sparkle to your winter season. Bon appétit, my friends! ❄️🤍✨
