3. Pour mixture into a shallow container, cover, and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or freeze for 30–40 minutes.
4. Once firm, scoop out portions and roll into smooth balls using lightly oiled hands or gloves.
5. Roll each truffle in powdered sugar until fully coated.
6. Place truffles in mini cupcake liners or on a parchment-lined tray.

Notes
Use high-quality white chocolate for smooth melting and optimal flavor.
Don’t skip chilling — it’s essential for shaping the truffles properly.
Coat with powdered sugar just before serving to keep them looking fresh and elegant.
