How to Make Chocolate Raspberry Truffles
- Begin by thawing the frozen raspberries. Once softened, blend them until smooth and strain to remove the seeds. If the puree seems too thick, add a tablespoon of water to reach the desired consistency.
- In a saucepan, combine the raspberry puree with powdered sugar. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat, stirring often. You'll want it to bubble slightly as the sweetness infuses the puree.
- Lower the heat and let the mixture simmer for about 25 minutes, stirring occasionally. You’re looking for a reduction by half; this enhances the raspberry flavor while thickening the puree.
- Pour the warm raspberry mixture over the finely chopped white chocolate. Stir until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth like velvet.
- Next, delicately mix in the heavy whipping cream until everything is fully blended. The combination will be thick and luxurious.
- Cover the ganache and refrigerate for 2 hours until it’s firm enough to scoop.
- Once the ganache is firm, use a scoop or your hands to shape it into 1-inch balls.
- Melt the dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl. Dip each truffle in the chocolate, letting any excess drip off.
- Place the dipped truffles on a piece of parchment paper and chill them again for about 25 minutes, until the chocolate has set and hardened.
- If desired, drizzle the melted pink chocolate over the truffles for a fun and festive look.
