Description
These melt-in-your-mouth raspberry truffles combine tart raspberry powder with rich dark chocolate for an elegant treat.
Ingredients
Scale
- 14 ounces high-quality dark chocolate (60-75% cocoa solids), finely chopped or in chip form
- ¾ cup heavy whipping cream (at least 36% fat)
- 2 Tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into small cubes
- 1.6 ounces freeze-dried raspberries (about 2 cups), crushed into a fine powder
- 14 ounces white chocolate chips or bars, for optional coating or decoration
Instructions
- Finely chop your dark chocolate and place it into a heatproof bowl.
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the heavy cream and unsalted butter until just simmering.
- Pour the hot cream mixture over the chopped chocolate, let it sit for 5 minutes, then whisk until smooth.
- Stir in crushed freeze-dried raspberry powder to your desired flavor intensity.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 3-4 hours, or overnight.
- Scoop uniform portions of ganache and roll into smooth balls.
- Optionally chill the shaped truffles to firm them up before coating.
- Coat the truffles in your chosen coating and arrange them on a platter.
- Allow to set before serving.
Notes
Use good quality chocolate and ensure proper temperatures to prevent graininess in the ganache.
