Description
These Chocolate Raspberry Truffles showcase an irresistible blend of tart raspberries and rich chocolate. They’re simple to make and perfect for special occasions or a sweet treat at home.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ⅓ cup frozen raspberries
- ¼ cup powdered sugar
- ¼ cup heavy whipping cream
- 7 oz good quality white chocolate
- 1 tbsp water
- 7 oz dark chocolate 52% to 70% cocoa
- pink chocolate as ruby chocolate or pink candy melts
Instructions
- Begin by defrosting the frozen raspberries.
- Finely chop the white chocolate and set aside, as chopping it helps it melt uniformly in the puree.
- Blend the thawed raspberries until they turn into a smooth puree.
- Strain the raspberry puree to remove any seeds, adding a tiny bit of water if needed to maintain a puree texture.
- In a saucepan, combine the raspberry puree and powdered sugar, stirring well.
- Heat the mixture over medium heat until it boils, stirring frequently.
- Once boiling, reduce heat to low and continue stirring until the mixture reduces by half, which takes about 25 minutes.
- Stir in the heavy whipping cream until fully combined.
- In a large bowl, add the chopped white chocolate and pour in the warm raspberry puree, mixing until the chocolate is melted and smooth. A warm water bath can help with melting the chocolate more evenly.
- Cover the mixture with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 hours until firm.
- Scoop the ganache and shape it into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter, using your hands.
- Melt the dark chocolate and dip each truffle into it using a fork, shaking off any excess chocolate before placing them on a lined baking sheet.
- Refrigerate the truffles for about 25 minutes until the chocolate sets. Any remaining melted chocolate can be spread on parchment and allowed to set for later use.
Notes
Ensure the white chocolate is chopped finely for even melting.
You can adjust the raspberry puree consistency with a bit of water if it’s too thick.
Make extra melted chocolate to use later for additional dipping.
