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 aside. This step is crucial for uniform melting in the puree.
- In a blender, combine the thawed raspberries and blend until smooth.
- Strain the raspberry puree to remove seeds, adding a little water if necessary to maintain a puree texture.
- In a saucepan, combine the raspberry puree and powdered sugar, stirring gently.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring frequently.
- Once boiling, lower the heat and stir frequently until the mixture reduces by half (about 25 minutes).
- Add the heavy whipping cream and mix until fully incorporated.
- In a large bowl, place the chopped white chocolate and pour the warm raspberry puree over it, stirring until the chocolate melts and the mixture is smooth. If needed, use a warm water bath to assist in melting.
- Cover with plastic wrap and chill in the fridge for 2 hours until firm.
- Scoop the ganache and shape it into small balls (about 1 inch in diameter).
- Melt the dark chocolate. Using a fork, dip each truffle into the melted dark chocolate, allowing the excess to drip off before placing it on a lined baking sheet.
- Repeat the dipping process for all truffles.
- Chill the truffles until the chocolate sets (about 25 minutes). Note: Reuse any excess melted dark chocolate by spreading it out on parchment paper to set for later use.
Notes
Ensure to chop the white chocolate finely for best melting results.
You can adjust the thickness of the raspberry puree by adding a tiny amount of water as needed.
Make sure to chill the truffles adequately to ensure the chocolate coating sets perfectly.
