Description

Delicious homemade raspberry truffles with fluffy ganache and a rich chocolate coating.


Ingredients

  • Dark chocolate (8 oz, 60-70% cocoa)
  • Fresh raspberries (1 cup)
  • Heavy cream (1/2 cup)
  • Powdered sugar (1/4 cup)
  • Vanilla extract (1 tsp)
  • Coating options: cocoa powder, crushed nuts, or sprinkles

Instructions

  1. Prepare the raspberries by washing them gently under cold water and patting them dry. Set aside 4-5 berries for garnish.
  2. Make the ganache: Heat the heavy cream in a saucepan until it simmers, then turn off the heat and stir in the chopped dark chocolate until smooth.
  3. Add the raspberries: Mash them with a fork and fold the puree into the ganache, then mix in the vanilla extract and powdered sugar.
  4. Chill the mixture for at least 2 hours until firm.
  5. Shape the truffles by scooping the ganache mixture and rolling them into balls.
  6. Coat the truffles in your chosen coatings.
  7. Serve and enjoy! Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.

Notes

For a refreshing twist, add mint extract. Experiment with different coatings for variety!
