Description
Decadent and rich, these Raspberry Truffles are a perfect blend of dark chocolate and tart raspberries, ideal for special occasions or as a homemade gift.
Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh raspberries
- 12 oz dark chocolate, chopped
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp unsalted butter
- Cocoa powder or melted chocolate (for coating)
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, heat the raspberries over medium heat until they break down and become saucy. Strain through a fine mesh sieve to remove seeds. Set aside the puree.
- In another saucepan, heat the heavy cream until just simmering. Remove from heat and add chopped chocolate. Let sit for 2 minutes.
- Stir the chocolate and cream mixture until smooth. Add the raspberry puree, butter, and vanilla extract. Mix well.
- Refrigerate the mixture for 1-2 hours or until firm enough to scoop.
- Using a small spoon or melon baller, scoop the mixture and roll into balls.
- Roll the truffles in cocoa powder or dip in melted chocolate for coating.
- Place on a parchment-lined tray and refrigerate until firm.
Notes
- Use high-quality dark chocolate for best results.
- You can freeze the truffles for longer storage.
- Optional: add a splash of raspberry liqueur for enhanced flavor.
