Ingredients

Scale

Filling

  • 11 ounces white chocolate chips
  • ¼ cup heavy cream
  • 4 tablespoons dried raspberry powder

Coating

  • 8 ounces dark chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Prepare the filling: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the white chocolate chips and heavy cream. Microwave in 15-second increments, stirring well between each, until the mixture is fully melted and smooth.
  2. Add raspberry powder: Stir the dried raspberry powder into the melted white chocolate mixture until completely incorporated.
  3. Chill filling: Refrigerate the bowl for 10 to 15 minutes until the filling firms up to a soft but moldable consistency, enabling you to roll it into balls.
  4. Scoop and roll: Using a small cookie scoop, portion out the filling. With clean hands, roll each portion into a smooth, round ball.
  5. Place balls on baking sheet: Arrange the rolled truffle balls on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet, spacing them evenly.
  6. Melt dark chocolate: In a separate medium bowl, microwave the dark chocolate chips in 15-second bursts, stirring between each, until melted and smooth.
  7. Coat truffles: Using a fork, dip each truffle ball individually into the melted dark chocolate, ensuring full coverage. Let any excess chocolate drip off and scrape the bottom of the fork against the bowl edge to remove excess coating.
  8. Set the coating: Return the dipped truffles to the parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for 10 minutes or until the chocolate coating is firm.
  9. Drizzle chocolate decoration: Place the remaining melted dark chocolate into a Ziplock bag or piping bag and drizzle over the chilled truffles to create an attractive finish.
  10. Sprinkle raspberry powder: Lightly dust the raspberry powder over the chocolate drizzle while it is still wet to add aroma and color.
  11. Final chill: Refrigerate the completed truffles for up to 10 minutes until the drizzle sets. Then, they are ready to serve or store.

Notes

  • Make sure not to overheat the chocolate to avoid burning or seizing.
  • Use clean hands or wear gloves while rolling the truffles for a smooth finish.
  • Store the truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
  • Allow truffles to sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving for best texture and flavor.
  • Raspberry powder can be found in specialty baking stores or online, or substitute with freeze-dried raspberry crumbs if desired.
