Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups (56 grams) freeze-dried raspberries
- 14 oz (396 grams) bittersweet chocolate chips
- 14 oz (396 grams) white chocolate chips
- ¾ cup (180 milliliters) heavy cream
- 2 tbsps (30 milliliters) unsalted butter, room temperature
Instructions
- Powderize Raspberries: Pulse freeze-dried raspberries in a food processor, sifting through a fine mesh to create an intense, seed-free raspberry powder.
- Chocolate Base: Melt white chocolate chips and butter in a heatproof bowl, incorporating warm cream to create a silky smooth foundation for the truffles.
- Flavor Fusion: Blend raspberry powder into the white chocolate mixture, stirring thoroughly to distribute the fruity essence evenly throughout the ganache.
- Chill and Shape: Refrigerate the mixture until firm, then gently roll into uniform spheres using cool, delicate hand movements, placing on a parchment-lined tray.
- Chocolate Coating: Temper bittersweet chocolate using a double boiler or precise microwave technique, then carefully dip each truffle to create a glossy, even chocolate shell.
- Decorative Finish: While chocolate is still wet, sprinkle with additional raspberry powder or chocolate shavings to add visual appeal and extra flavor complexity.
- Final Set: Allow truffles to rest at room temperature until the chocolate coating completely hardens, transforming into an elegant, professional-looking confection ready to delight discerning palates.
Notes
- Perfect Raspberry Powder: Sifting removes seeds, ensuring a pure, concentrated flavor that elevates the truffle’s essence without unwanted texture.
- Chocolate Melting Mastery: Use low, gentle heat to prevent scorching, creating a silky smooth base that guarantees a luxurious truffle texture.
- Temperature Control Matters: Chill the mixture until firm but moldable, allowing easy shaping without losing the delicate flavor profile.
- Coating Technique: Dip truffles quickly and smoothly to achieve a flawless chocolate shell that showcases the raspberry-infused interior.
