  2. Cover the mixture with plastic wrap and refrigerate for approximately 30 minutes.
  3. Remove the mixture from the refrigerator and roll it into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

  5. Dip each truffle into the melted white chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated, and place back on the baking sheet.
