Description
These Raspberry Chocolate Truffles are a luxurious blend of creamy white chocolate, tangy freeze-dried raspberries, and rich dark chocolate. With a soft raspberry-infused center and a smooth dark chocolate shell, they deliver an irresistible contrast in texture and flavor.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 oz freeze-dried raspberries
- 6 oz white chocolate melting wafers
- 3 oz heavy cream
- 8 oz dark chocolate melting wafers
- Extra freeze-dried raspberries for decoration
Instructions
- Add freeze-dried raspberries to a food processor and pulse until finely powdered. Let the powder settle before opening the lid.
- In a saucepan, heat heavy cream over medium heat until it simmers. Pour the hot cream over a bowl of white chocolate melting wafers and raspberry powder. Let sit for 1 minute, then stir until smooth.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate the mixture for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until firm enough to scoop.
- Using a tablespoon or small scoop, form the mixture into 13 small balls. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for another hour.
- Set up a double boiler and melt the dark chocolate wafers until smooth, stirring occasionally.
- Dip the bottom of each chilled truffle into the melted dark chocolate. Drizzle more chocolate over the top and sprinkle with crushed freeze-dried raspberries.
- Refrigerate the coated truffles for 30 minutes to 1 hour, until the chocolate hardens completely.
Notes
- Use coconut cream and dairy-free chocolate for a vegan-friendly version.
- This recipe is naturally gluten-free.
- Try flavor variations like freeze-dried strawberries, orange zest, or mint.
- Ensure your raspberry powder is fine for a smooth filling texture.
