Ingredients

  • 1.6 ounce freeze dried raspberries about 2 cups
  • 1 package white chocolate chips or bars 14 ounce
  • 2 Tablespoons unsalted butter
  • ¾ cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1 package dark chocolate (bittersweet chocolate) 14 ounce

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Add raspberries to a food processor and pulse until fine powder. Set aside.
  2. In a large glass bowl, add white chocolate with butter. Set aside.
  3. In a small saucepan, heat heavy cream over low. Simmer, but do not boil. When warm, pour over the white chocolate and butter. Allow to sit for 5 minutes.
  4. After 5 minutes, use a spatula to stir the white chocolate until smooth and combined.
  5. Add 1/2 cup of the freeze dried raspberry powder, stir in. Taste for flavor. If not strong enough, add another 1-2 Tablespoons of powder. We found that 1/2 cup was plenty, for color and flavor. Save the remaining powder to sprinkle on top of the truffles in step 10.
  6. Place plastic wrap over the bowl and chill in the refrigerator for 2 hours.
  7. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  8. Using a small 1 Tablespoon cookie scoop, scoop mixture and roll in ball, place on parchment paper. Repeat with remaining mixture (you'll get about 25 truffles). Put the tray of truffles back in the refrierator (or freezer) for 30 minutes).
  9. Melt dark chocolate according to package directions (use a double boiler method for best results).
  10. Remove truffles for freezer/refrigerator. Using a fork (or toothpick), dip in melted chocolate, tap on side of bowl to remove the excess, then place back on parchment paper. Sprinkle with a pinch of the remaining raspberry powder.

Notes

  • You can use dark chocolate chips, or try finding the Ghirardelli dark chocolate melting wafers. They melt smooth (in the microwave) and taste amazing.
  • When you heat the cream remove the heat source as soon as the cream starts to steam and small bubbles appear on the surface. If you allow the cream to boil you will scorch it and this will affect the flavor.
  • Storage: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for 2-3 days or in the refrigerator for 2 weeks.
  • Freeze: freeze truffles in airtight container for up to 3 months.
