Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ⅓ cup frozen raspberries
- ¼ cup powdered sugar
- ¼ cup heavy whipping cream
- 7 oz good quality white chocolate
- 1 tbsp water
- 7 oz dark chocolate 52% to 70% cocoa
- pink chocolate as ruby chocolate or pink candy melts
Instructions
- Start by defrosting the raspberries.
- Finely chop the white chocolate and set it aside. It's essential to chop it finely for uniform melting.
- Place the thawed raspberries in a blender and puree until smooth.
- Strain the raspberry puree to remove the seeds. Add a little water if the puree is too thick to achieve the right texture.
- In a saucepan, combine the raspberry puree and powdered sugar, stirring well.
- Heat over medium heat until it reaches a boil, stirring frequently.
- Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and continue stirring until the mixture reduces by half, approximately 25 minutes.
- Add the heavy whipping cream to the mixture and stir until fully integrated.
- In a large bowl, combine the chopped white chocolate. Pour the warm raspberry puree over it, stirring until the chocolate melts and becomes smooth. Consider using a warm water bath to aid the melting process.
- Cover the mixture with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 hours until firm.
- Scoop out the ganache and shape it into small balls, around 1 inch in diameter, using your hands.
- Melt the dark chocolate in a separate bowl. Using a fork, dip each truffle into the melted dark chocolate, allowing excess chocolate to drip off.
- Place the coated truffles on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Repeat for all truffles.
- Refrigerate the truffles until the chocolate sets, about 25 minutes. Any leftover dark chocolate can be spread on parchment and allowed to set for later use.
Notes
Ensure to finely chop the white chocolate for even melting.
The truffles refrigerate well, making them ideal for preparing ahead of time.
Leftover dark chocolate can be repurposed for other desserts or snacks.
