Prepare the powder coating: Reserve three strawberries. Place all other strawberries into hand blender and pulverize until a powder is formed. Tip: When checking the strawberries don't open the blender right away after blitzing. Wait a minute or so until the powder settles.

Prepare the truffle centers: Use a sharp knife to gently cut each of the reserved strawberries into 8 pieces. Bring the white chocolate balls out from fridge and insert a strawberry piece to the middle of each, then roll between palms to a reform to a ball.
