White Chocolate Truffle Cupcakes
White chocolate isn’t technically chocolate at all but it gets away with it because it’s pretty. She doesn’t contain any cacao and is simply just cocoa butter + milk + sugar but buyer beware, lower end bars/chips substitute shortening for cocoa butter. Though, I’m a big fan of darker chocolate that yields at least a 75% cocoa range, I like to mix it up sometimes, indulging in some buttery white chocolate. There’s something that can be so sublime about biting into a pure, milky white bar.

- 1¾ c unbleached Flour
- 1 ts Baking Powder
- ½ ts fine Salt
- 1 stick softened, unsalted Butter
- ¾ c Sugar
- 2 ts pure Vanilla Extract
- 2 room temperature Eggs
- 4 oz melted White Chocolate
- 1 c room temperature Buttermilk
- In your first bowl, sift together all your dry ingredients. Set aside.
- In your second bowl, begin by creaming together your butter and sugar.
- Tip in your vanilla and then, your eggs.
- Slowly stream in your melted chocolate.
- Sprinkle in ⅓ of your dry mixture (bowl 1) and alternate with your buttermilk. Be mindful not to over mix and begin and end with your dry.
- Bake at 350 for 19-22 minutes. Half way through the baking time, pop a truffle into each cupcake.
I piped with Vanilla Buttercream and made these Truffles subbing in white chocolate for bitter/semisweet.
I hope everyone has a sweet day!
Love,
Your Squishy Monster ^.~

I know what you mean-I love all kinds of chocolate! Dark, milk and white!
My oh my….these White Chocolate Truffle Cupcake are so easy to make especially with the help of your video.
Oh my goodness! I’m usually more of a dark chocolate person, but these look amazing!
You did it! aaaa! I’ve been seeing white chocolate truffle cupcakes on pinterest for so long and they always look so appealing but usually the link leadsd to a spam site (beware!) so I had to track down the recipe myself. I think it used Lindt truffles so it’s cool you made your own ganache for these. These sound so good! P.S. I noticed you don’t usually link to a recipe source, does that mean you only post your own creations? If so you are a baking rock star!
OMG these look ah-maze-ing!
Hi Angie, woooooooooow …..I LOVE this cuppies. PLEASE reserve 2 for me and a cup of coffee too. It look scrumptious and to die for kind…. Nice video, keep up the good work. I’m your number one fan
Pretty cute cupcake. I was just thinking earlier that I need a new cupcake recipe. Thanks for sharing!
I’m just starting to like white chocolate. I know for sure that I’d love it in these delicious and moist looking cupcakes.
Oh, yum! Sounds so good!
yummy! Can I have some now!!!
Well, I was going to make a ham and cheese omelette for breakfast now, I want cupcakes!!! These look so good, love the inside
white chocolate is one of my favorites,
I bet a little bacon mixed in would be awesome too…Mmmmm
I’m a dark chocolate lover myself but your cupcakes would be perfect during the holiday season for something different and delicious.
These look great!
Those look delicious!
Chocohalic here, I’ll take any but I prefer 70% +. Would totally devour these white chocs though
I’m smitten with these cupcakes my friend
Smitten like a kitten? =)
It’s a nice switch of pace, huh?
Thank you very kindly =)
Thank you =)
I want to make a black and white cupcake at some point—best of both worlds, huh? =)
bacon ftw!!!
I will trade you cupcakes for some omelets—sounds like a great breakfast!
of course! =)
My belly says 2 thumbs up (which is crazy bc she has no thumbs).
I hear dogs can have it–though, I’m not 100% on that.
Thank YOU for watching =)
You know you’re always welcome over, Amelia! We could share a french press and chit chat and stuff our faces with cupcakes! No boys! =)
This one was high maintenance (as most pretty things are) and she didn’t cooperate until the 3rd time around–my recipes are my own but it’s definitely a labor of love.
Me too, but she’s darling, huh? She’s manipulative, that white chocolate!
Thanks so much for watching, Amy!! =)
Not a chocolate discriminator, huh? ^.~
OOOO! YUMALICIOUS whit chocolate!!!Love this cup cake recipe Angie. Thanks for sharing!
Thank YOU, Les!
I LOVE white chocolate.
You’re in the right place, my friend =)
I am all for dark chocolate, however the milky flavor from white “chocolate” is something else..I absolutely love it!
It’s a different type of bliss and I’m all about bliss, lol.
My husband is crazy for white chocolate. These are the perfect cupcakes for him.
Much love and power to you for that! I know how much work can go into perfecting a recipe…which is why I mostly leave it to the pros like you! Thank you!
Biting into one of these and the white chocolate center must be revelatory!
YUMMMMMY….I’m one huge sweet tooth so thanks so much for this one Angie! I might also have the strength to do this on Thanksgiving!!!

I make a white chocolate caramel corn at Christmas that is seriously the best thing ever. These look fantastic!
I love that there is a truffle inside each cupcake! I’m actually a big fan of white chocolate (and dark, and milk…) – now I want one of these cupcales!
Those cupcakes look really delicious!
Hmm is anyone else encountering problems with the pictures on this blog loading? I’m trying to find out if its a problem on my end or if it’s the blog. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
I’m sure that they are beautiful but I just can’t get into white chocolate. Dark chocolate though – don’t get between me and it!
I am a dark chocolate fiend, but really, any dessert has my name all over it
Right? ^.~
lol–you made me laugh. White chocolate is definitely a second for me.
Thank you llan!!
I still have 2 left! They have your name all over it =)
oooh that sounds good too!!
Thank you, Tandy!!
I’m definitely thankful for chocolate (he’s been a good friend) so it’d be appropriate =)
Is that what that was? I thought after a large meal + 4 of these was a food coma =)
You are TOO sweet, Veronica!
That’s a huge compliment considering all the yummies you whip up!
You’re awesome, Unni!
I too am usually lured in by the darker chocolate variety, but dang girl – you make white chocolate look GOOD!
oh wow.. yum!! i love the truffly surprise in the middle of the cupcake..
Mama was like, “Sweetheart, I don’t think it’s baked all the way…”
She’s got that deceptive manipulative quality, huh? =)
Seriously cool tips you have got above- thx
Thanks =)
Thank you, Allan =)
