Scale
Main Chocolate Ingredients:
- 14 ounces (396 grams) bittersweet chocolate chips
- 14 ounces (396 grams) white chocolate chips
Secondary Dairy Ingredients:
- ¾ cup (180 milliliters) heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) unsalted butter, room temperature
Garnish/Flavor Ingredient:
- 2 cups (56 grams) freeze-dried raspberries
Instructions
- Transform freeze-dried raspberries into a delicate, vibrant powder using a food processor, carefully sifting through a fine mesh to eliminate seeds and create a pure, intense raspberry essence.
- Gently melt white chocolate chips and butter in a heatproof vessel, creating a smooth base by carefully pouring heated cream and allowing the mixture to harmonize.
- Infuse the white chocolate blend with the raspberry powder, stirring meticulously to distribute the fruity notes evenly and adjust the intensity of flavor to personal preference.
- Refrigerate the mixture until it achieves a firm, moldable consistency that allows for elegant truffle shaping.
- Using gentle hands, form the chilled mixture into perfectly rounded spheres, placing them delicately on a parchment-lined tray to maintain their pristine shape.
- Temporarily chill the formed truffles to ensure structural integrity during the coating process.
- Carefully melt bittersweet chocolate using a controlled method, either through microwave intervals or a traditional double boiler technique.
- Skillfully enrobe each truffle in the molten chocolate, using precise dipping tools to achieve a smooth, even coating that highlights the delicate interior.
- For an artistic flourish, dust the still-wet chocolate with additional raspberry powder or chocolate sprinkles, creating a visually appealing and flavorful finishing touch.
- Allow the chocolate shell to completely set, transforming the truffles into a sophisticated, ready-to-serve delicacy that balances intense raspberry flavor with creamy chocolate elegance.
Notes
- Craft homemade raspberry truffles with restaurant-quality elegance using freeze-dried raspberries for intense, concentrated flavor.
- Create smooth, silky truffle texture by carefully heating cream and allowing chocolate to melt slowly without direct high heat.
- Use precise measurements and sifting techniques to ensure raspberry powder is fine and seed-free for a luxurious, professional finish.
- Refrigerate truffle mixture thoroughly to achieve perfect shapeable consistency that prevents sticky, messy handling during ball formation.
- Select high-quality bittersweet chocolate for coating to enhance the delicate raspberry notes and provide a rich, glossy exterior.
- Decorate truffles immediately after chocolate coating to ensure decorative elements like raspberry powder or jimmies adhere beautifully.
