½ teaspoon strawberry extract
¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
1 drop pink food coloring (optional)

Instructions

In a medium mixing bowl, place the white chocolate chips.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter completely, then stir in the heavy cream until it simmers gently.
Pour the melted mixture over the chocolate chips and let it sit for 1-2 minutes. Add strawberry extract, vanilla extract, and food coloring (if using). Whisk until smooth; microwave in short intervals if needed.
Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 1 hour until firm enough to scoop.
Scoop out about 1 to 1½ tablespoons of the mixture and roll into balls. Coat each ball generously in powdered sugar.
Refrigerate again for another 30 minutes before serving.
