Description
Rich, fruity truffles filled with raspberry ganache and coated in dark chocolate. A beautiful and decadent treat perfect for gifting or indulging.
Ingredients
- Raspberry Ganache:
- 1 ⅓ cup frozen raspberries
- ¼ cup powdered sugar
- ¼ cup heavy whipping cream
- 7 oz good quality white chocolate, finely chopped
- 1 tbsp water (if needed)
- Dipping:
- 7 oz dark chocolate (52% to 70% cocoa)
- Decoration (optional):
- Pink chocolate such as ruby chocolate or pink candy melts
Instructions
1. Start to defrost the raspberries.
2. Chop the white chocolate finely and set aside.
3. Add the thawed raspberries to a blender and purée until smooth.
4. Strain the purée to remove seeds. Add a bit of water if needed for a smooth texture.
5. In a saucepan, combine the raspberry purée and powdered sugar. Stir and bring to a boil over medium heat.
6. Once boiling, reduce to low heat and simmer, stirring frequently, until reduced by half (about 25 minutes).
7. Add the heavy whipping cream and mix until fully incorporated.
8. Place the chopped white chocolate in a large bowl. Pour the hot raspberry mixture over it and stir until smooth. Use a warm water bath if needed to help melt the chocolate.
9. Cover the ganache with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 hours until firm.
10. Scoop out the ganache and roll into 1-inch balls using your hands.
11. Melt the dark chocolate. Using a fork, dip each truffle into the chocolate, letting excess drip off.
12. Place the dipped truffles on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
13. Refrigerate until the chocolate is set, about 25 minutes.
14. Optionally, drizzle with pink chocolate for decoration.
Notes
Be sure to chop the white chocolate very finely so it melts easily in the hot raspberry mixture. If the raspberry purée is too thick to strain, add a small splash of water. You will have extra dark chocolate after dipping — spread it on parchment, let it set, and reuse. Truffles store well refrigerated in an airtight container for several days.
