White Chocolate Pistachio Truffles, made with homemade Pistachio Butter, are the creamiest and most delicious truffles you will ever taste. They are the perfect bite of dessert and make wonderful edible gifts, especially for the holiday season.

I thought they were unbeatable, but these White Chocolate Pistachio Truffles are now my absolute favorite. They’re creamy, nutty, and sweet—but not overly so. The best part? They require just two ingredients, plus whatever you need to make homemade pistachio butter.

Ingredients

  • 4 oz homemade pistachio butter (½ cup or 113g)
  • 10 oz white chocolate melting wafers (283g, divided)
  • Ground pistachios for garnish

Instructions

  1. Make the Truffle Center
    • Add pistachio butter and 4 oz of white chocolate to a heatproof bowl.
    • Place the bowl over a pot of simmering water. Stir until smooth.
    • Refrigerate for 45 minutes to 1 hour until the mixture is firm but scoopable.
  2. Form the Truffles
    • Use a 1-tablespoon cookie scoop to divide the mixture into 13 portions.
    • Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for another hour.
  3. Coat the Truffles
    • Melt the remaining white chocolate using the same double boiler method.
    • Dip each truffle bottom into the melted chocolate.
    • Place on a fork and drizzle more chocolate over the top until fully coated.
    • Sprinkle with ground pistachios.
    • Return to the refrigerator for 30 minutes to 1 hour to harden.

Optional: Trim excess chocolate at the base of the truffles before serving.
