Description
Quick and easy raspberry truffles with a creamy white chocolate raspberry center and rich chocolate coating, perfect for parties and special occasions.
Ingredients
2 cups freeze-dried raspberries (about 1.6 oz)
14 oz white chocolate chips (high-quality, or finely chopped white chocolate)
2 tbsp unsalted butter, room temperature, cut into pieces
¾ cup heavy cream
14 oz bittersweet chocolate chips (high-quality, or finely chopped)
Instructions
Pulse the freeze-dried raspberries in a food processor until they form a fine powder.
Sift the raspberry powder through a fine sieve into a bowl to remove seeds. Set aside.
In a large heatproof bowl, combine the white chocolate chips and butter.
Heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan over low heat until it just begins to simmer. Do not boil.
Pour the hot cream over the white chocolate and butter. Let stand for 5 minutes.
Stir slowly until the mixture is smooth and fully melted.
Add ⅓ cup of the raspberry powder and mix until incorporated. Taste and add more raspberry powder as desired.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 hours, or until firm enough to scoop.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Scoop the mixture using a heaping teaspoon, roll into balls, and place on the sheet. Repeat to make about 24 truffles. Chill for 30 minutes.
Melt the bittersweet chocolate using a microwave (30-second intervals at 50% power, stirring between each) or over a double boiler.
Dip each truffle into the melted chocolate, tapping off excess. Return to the tray to set.
Optional: Sprinkle with remaining raspberry powder or chocolate sprinkles before the coating sets.
