Description
These white chocolate raspberry truffles are pure elegance in bite-sized form, combining creamy white chocolate ganache with bright, tart raspberries.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz high-quality white chocolate, finely chopped
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup fresh raspberries or 2 tablespoons freeze-dried raspberry powder
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter (optional)
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar (for dusting)
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (for rolling)
- 8 oz white chocolate, melted (for dipping)
- freeze-dried raspberry pieces (for garnish)
- pink or red sanding sugar (optional)
Instructions
- If using fresh raspberries, puree them in a blender and strain through a fine mesh sieve to remove seeds. You should have about 2 tablespoons puree. For freeze-dried raspberries, grind into a fine powder using a food processor.
- Finely chop the white chocolate and place it in a medium heatproof bowl.
- Warm the heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until it begins to simmer. Do not boil.
- Pour the hot cream over the chopped white chocolate. Let sit undisturbed for 2–3 minutes, then stir gently until smooth and glossy.
- Stir in raspberry puree or powder until fully blended. Add butter if desired and stir until melted and creamy.
- Cover the ganache with plastic wrap touching the surface. Refrigerate for 2–3 hours until firm enough to scoop.
- Using a small cookie scoop, portion ganache into 1-tablespoon balls. Roll quickly between your palms and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Roll truffles in powdered sugar or cocoa powder, or dip in melted white chocolate. Garnish before chocolate sets.
- Refrigerate coated truffles for at least 30 minutes until firm. Store in airtight containers in the refrigerator until serving.
Notes
- Use high-quality white chocolate for best results.
- Adjust sweetness by varying the amount of sugar used for dusting.
- These truffles make a great gift and can be stored for a few days.
