Strawberry Shortcake Truffles Recipes

STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE TRIFLE

Steps:

• For the cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment and spray with baking spray.
• Sift together the flour, cornstarch, baking soda and salt in a bowl.
• In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream the granulated sugar and butter until light and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Add the sour cream and vanilla and mix until combined. Add the sifted dry ingredients and mix on low speed until just barely combined.
• Pour into the prepared baking sheet and bake until the cake is golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes. Set aside and allow to cool completely.
• For the strawberries in sauce: Put the granulated sugar, cornstarch, gelatin and 1 1/2 cups water in a saucepan. Stir together and bring to a boil. Cook until starting to thicken, then remove from the heat. Put the strawberries in a bowl and pour over the sauce, gently tossing together. Set aside in the fridge and allow the mixture to thicken, stirring occasionally, 10 to 15 minutes.
• For the sweet yogurt cream: In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, whip the yogurt, cream, granulated sugar and brown sugar on high until smooth and silky.
• Once the cake is cool, flip out onto a cutting board and remove the parchment. Cut the cake into 1.5-inch cubes.
• To assemble the trifle, place half of the cake pieces into the bottom of a trifle dish or large glass bowl. Top with half of the strawberries in sauce, then half of the sweet yogurt cream. Repeat the layers of cake, strawberries in sauce and cream. Garnish with fresh halved strawberries and mint leaves. Cover and place in the refrigerator to chill for at least 2 hours.

Steps:

• For the pound cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan.
• Whisk the flour, baking powder and salt together in a medium bowl.
• In a large bowl, combine the butter and sugar, and beat with an electric mixer on high speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. After the last egg, continue to beat on high speed for 5 minutes. Beat in the heavy cream and vanilla. Add the flour mixture and beat on low until just incorporated.
• Spoon the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake until a wooden pick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 1 hour 10 minutes. Cool the pound cake in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn it out onto a rack to cool completely. (The pound cake can be made up to 2 days ahead; store at room temperature, well wrapped.)
• For the strawberries: Heat the strawberry preserves in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat until just warm. Add the strawberries and 1/4 cup water, and bring to a simmer; simmer until the strawberries are just beginning to soften, about 5 minutes. Stir in the lemon juice. Add a little sugar to taste if desired. Cool completely. (The strawberries can be made up to 1 day ahead; refrigerate in an airtight container.)
• For the cream layer: In a large bowl, beat together the cream cheese and confectioners' sugar with an electric mixer until very smooth and light. Add a little bit of the cream, and beat to loosen. Beat in the remaining cream, a little at a time, until the mixture just holds stiff peaks, stopping occasionally to scrape the bottom of the bowl with a rubber spatula. Beat in the lemon juice and vanilla.
• To assemble the trifle: Cut the pound cake into 1 1/2-inch cubes. Spoon a little more than a quarter of the cream into the bottom of a trifle bowl. Top with a third of the pound cake, followed by a third of the strawberries and their juices. Repeat the layers, starting with cream, then cake, then strawberries. Top with the remaining cream and a few strawberries. Cover and refrigerate at least 4 hours and up to overnight.

Steps:

• Place 1 cup of the white chocolate candy coating into a medium-sized microwave-safe bowl and microwave it until melted, about 1 minute. Stir until the candy coating is entirely smooth and free of lumps.
• Set the coating aside to cool slightly.
• Blend the berries and orange zest in a food processor or mixer until it is a smooth puree.
• Place the crumbled cake into a large bowl. Pour the puree on top and stir until the cake and puree form a smooth paste. Add the melted candy coating and stir until smooth, and stir in a drop or two of red food coloring, if desired, to make the mixture a light pink.
• Cover the candy mixture with cling wrap and refrigerate it for an hour to allow it to firm up. Cover a baking sheet with aluminum foil and set aside for now.
• Once the candy has set a bit, use a teaspoon to scoop out small balls of candy, roll them gently between your hands, and place them on the baking sheet.
• Put the baking sheet of formed truffles in the freezer for one hour to make them firm enough to dip.
• Once the candies have chilled enough to dip, place the remaining 2 cups of white chocolate candy coating in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave until melted, stirring after every 45 seconds to prevent overheating. Stir until the chocolate is melted and smooth.
• Using dipping tools or two forks, dip each truffle center into the melted white chocolate candy coating and place the dipped truffles on the baking sheet. If desired, you can top the truffles with red sprinkles, dried strawberries, or any other decorative touches. Make sure to add the sprinkles or dried berries while the chocolate is still wet so they adhere properly.
• Once you have finished dipping the truffles in the chocolate, place them in the refrigerator to finish setting the chocolate for 15 minutes, then remove them from the baking sheet and serve. Store the truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
