Ingredients
For the raspberry filling
- 200 g white chocolate chips
- 100 ml double cream (heavy cream)
- ½ cup freeze-dried raspberries
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
For the white chocolate coating
- 300 g white chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoon coconut oil
To top
- 2 tablespoon freeze-dried raspberries
Instructions
- To make the raspberry filling, pour the cream into a sauce pan, and heat it up on the stove top on a medium heat.
- Add the chocolate chips and coconut oil, and use a spatula to mix well until the chocolate is melted, and the mixture is smooth.
- Remove the pan from the heat.
- Add the freeze-dried raspberries to a blender, and blitz to a powder.
- Sift the raspberry powder into the melted chocolate mixture and use the spatula to combine them well into a smooth filling.
- Freeze the filling until it's hard enough to shape the truffles.
- Use your hands to shape out balls the size of a walnut - I got 12.
- Keep them refrigerated until ready to use.
- To make the white chocolate coating, add the chocolate chips and coconut oil to a bowl placed in a colander that is sat on top of a pan with simmering water.
- Allow the chocolate to melt completely.
- Dip each raspberry ball into the melted chocolate, shaking off any excess, then place each truffle onto a tray lined with non-stick paper.
- Top with freeze-dried raspberries.
- Refrigerate the truffles until the chocolate is set completely.

Notes
- Shaping the raspberry filling into balls can be a bit tricky, the warmth of the hands makes the chocolate warm up, so it's important to work quickly.
- Once the raspberry balls are coated in white chocolate, they will set a lot quicker than the filling does, they do not need to go in the freezer, the fridge would do.
