Description

Delight in the luxurious blend of tart raspberry and rich chocolate with this Raspberry Chocolate Truffles recipe. These creamy, bite-sized treats feature a smooth raspberry-infused white chocolate filling, coated in a glossy dark chocolate shell, and finished with a sprinkle of crushed freeze-dried raspberries for an elegant touch. Perfect for special occasions or an indulgent snack, they bring a decadent flair to any dessert table.

Ingredients

Raspberry Powder

  • 1 cup freeze dried raspberry

Truffle Filling

  • 1 cup white chocolate melting wafers
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream (high quality recommended)

Chocolate Coating

  • 1 cup dark chocolate melting wafers
  • 1 tbsp extra freeze dried raspberry (for sprinkle on top)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Raspberry Powder: Add the freeze dried raspberry to your food processor and grind it until it becomes a fine powder. Let it settle briefly to avoid a cloud of fruit dust when opening the processor, then transfer the powder to a bowl containing the white chocolate melting wafers.
  2. Heat the Cream: In a small saucepan, gently heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it starts to simmer but avoid boiling. Pour the hot cream over the white chocolate and raspberry powder mixture, allowing it to sit for several minutes to soften before stirring gently with a spatula until smooth.
  3. Chill the Mixture: Refrigerate the truffle filling mixture for 45 minutes to 1 hour. This chilling step firms the mixture just enough to handle while preparing the truffles.
  4. Portion and Shape: Using a small ice cream scoop, portion the chilled mixture into about 13 equal pieces. Roll each portion into a smooth ball and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Return the balls to the refrigerator for 1 hour to further firm up and ease coating.
  5. Melt the Dark Chocolate: Set up a double boiler by placing a heat-proof bowl over a simmering pot of water. Add the dark chocolate melting wafers to the bowl and stir gently until completely melted and smooth.
  6. Dip and Coat: Take each chilled truffle and dip the bottom into the melted dark chocolate. Hold the truffle on the tip of a fork and use a spoon to drizzle chocolate over the top until fully coated. Allow excess chocolate to drip off before placing the coated truffle back on the parchment-lined baking sheet.
  7. Add Finishing Touches: Repeat the dipping and drizzling process for all truffles. While the chocolate coating is still wet, sprinkle each truffle with extra crushed freeze dried raspberry for a decorative and flavorful finish.
  8. Set the Chocolate: Place the baking sheet with coated truffles back into the refrigerator for 30 minutes to 1 hour. This chilling step hardens the chocolate shell, resulting in perfectly decadent Raspberry Chocolate Truffles ready to enjoy.

Notes

  • Freeze-dried raspberries ensure a concentrated raspberry flavor without adding moisture that might affect the texture.
  • Be careful not to overheat the cream; simmering is enough to melt the chocolate smoothly.
  • Chilling the mixture well before shaping helps the truffles hold their shape and makes coating easier.
  • Use high-quality chocolate wafers for the best smooth texture and shine in the coating.
  • Store the truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain freshness.
