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 raspberries.
- Finely chop the white chocolate and set aside. Be sure to chop it well for easier melting.
- Blend the thawed raspberries until pureed completely.
- Strain the raspberry puree to remove seeds, adding a little water if necessary to maintain a puree consistency.
- In a saucepan, add the raspberry puree and powdered sugar, stirring to combine.
- Heat on medium until boiling, stirring frequently.
- Once boiling, lower the heat and continue stirring until reduced by half, approximately 25 minutes.
- Stir in the heavy whipping cream until fully mixed.
- In a large bowl, combine the chopped white chocolate and warm raspberry puree, stirring until the chocolate melts and the mixture is smooth. Consider placing the bowl in warm water to assist with melting.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 hours until firm.
- Once firm, scoop the ganache and shape it into small balls (about 1 inch in diameter).
- Melt the dark chocolate, then dip each truffle in using a fork, allowing excess chocolate to drip off.
- Place dipped truffles on a lined baking sheet and repeat for all truffles.
- Refrigerate until the chocolate coating is set (about 25 minutes). Note: You may have leftover dark chocolate, which can be spread on parchment paper and used later.
Notes
Make sure the white chocolate is chopped finely for even melting.
The truffles can be stored in the fridge for up to a week.
Consider using flavored chocolate for a creative twist.
