Ingredients
Scale
- 12 ounces high-quality white chocolate (e.g., Ghirardelli or Lindt)
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup fresh or frozen raspberries
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- Powdered sugar for dusting
- Optional toppings: crushed freeze-dried raspberries, shredded coconut, or white chocolate drizzle
Instructions
- Place the white chocolate in a heatproof bowl. Heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan until steaming but not boiling. Pour the hot cream over the chocolate and let sit for 2-3 minutes, then stir until smooth.
- Mash the raspberries with a fork or blend into a puree. If using fresh raspberries, strain through a fine mesh strainer to remove seeds. Stir the raspberry puree into the melted chocolate mixture until fully combined.
- Stir in the unsalted butter until the mixture is glossy and smooth.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2-3 hours, or until the mixture is firm enough to scoop.
- Use a cookie scoop or spoon to portion out small balls of the mixture. Roll them gently between your palms to create smooth spheres and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Roll each truffle in powdered sugar, crushed freeze-dried raspberries, or other toppings of your choice.
- Refrigerate the coated truffles for about 30 minutes to set them fully.
