Description

These Chocolate Raspberry Truffles are a decadent, bite-sized treat perfect for special occasions or gifting. They feature a luscious chocolate ganache infused with fresh raspberry flavor, coated in a rich chocolate shell, and dusted with cocoa powder for an elegant finish.

Ingredients

Units Scale

For the Ganache:

  • 1 cup (170g) dark chocolate chips or chopped dark chocolate
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) raspberry puree (made from fresh or frozen raspberries, strained)
  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter, softened

For Coating:

  • 1 cup (170g) dark chocolate chips or chopped dark chocolate
  • 2 tbsp cocoa powder or finely chopped nuts (optional, for dusting or rolling)

Instructions

  1. Make the Ganache:
    1. In a medium heatproof bowl, combine the dark chocolate and heavy cream.
    2. Heat the raspberry puree until warm, then pour over the chocolate and cream mixture.
    3. Stir until smooth. Add the butter and stir until fully incorporated.
    4. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1-2 hours until firm enough to scoop.
  2. Shape the Truffles:
    1. Scoop the chilled ganache into small balls using a teaspoon or melon baller.
    2. Roll the ganache balls between your hands to smooth. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
    3. Refrigerate the truffles for 15-20 minutes to firm up.
  3. Coat the Truffles:
    1. Melt the additional dark chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl or double boiler until smooth.
    2. Use a fork or truffle dipping tool to dip each ganache ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring an even coating.
    3. Return the coated truffles to the parchment-lined baking sheet.
    4. Dust with cocoa powder or roll in chopped nuts, if desired, before the chocolate sets.
  4. Set and Serve:
    1. Allow the coated truffles to set at room temperature or in the refrigerator for about 20 minutes.
    2. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

Notes

  • Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor.
  • Adjust the sweetness of the raspberry puree if necessary by adding a teaspoon of sugar.
  • For an extra kick, add 1-2 teaspoons of raspberry liqueur to the ganache.
