Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 200g high-quality dark chocolate (70% cocoa), chopped
  • 125ml heavy cream
  • 30g unsalted butter
  • 100g fresh raspberries
  • 20g powdered sugar

Optional Coatings

  • Cocoa powder, for rolling
  • Freeze-dried raspberry powder, for rolling
  • Finely chopped toasted hazelnuts or pistachios, for rolling

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Raspberry Puree: Gently blend fresh raspberries until smooth, then strain through a fine mesh sieve to remove the seeds. This silky raspberry puree will provide the fresh fruit flavor that perfectly balances the dark chocolate’s richness.
  2. Heat the Cream and Butter: In a small saucepan over medium heat, warm the heavy cream and unsalted butter until it just begins to simmer. This gentle heating melts the butter and readies the cream to blend beautifully with the chocolate.
  3. Combine Chocolate and Cream Mixture: Place chopped dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl. Pour the hot cream mixture over the chocolate and let it sit for a minute to soften before stirring gently until smooth and glossy, forming your ganache base.
  4. Add Raspberry Puree and Sweetener: Mix the fresh raspberry puree and powdered sugar into the ganache until fully incorporated. This step ensures every bite bursts with balanced fruity sweetness and deep chocolate flavor.
  5. Chill and Shape the Truffles: Cover the ganache and refrigerate for 2-3 hours until firm enough to handle. Using a spoon or melon baller, scoop uniform portions and quickly roll them into balls with clean hands.
  6. Coat and Finish: Roll each truffle in cocoa powder, freeze-dried raspberry powder, or finely chopped nuts for a beautiful finish. Place finished truffles on parchment and chill again to set, then enjoy!

Notes

  • Use quality chocolate: The taste of your truffles depends heavily on the chocolate you choose, so opt for the best dark chocolate you can find.
  • Chill ganache properly: Don’t rush the chilling stage—firm ganache creates cleaner, smoother truffles.
  • Work quickly when rolling: Truffles melt easily in warm hands, so wash and dry them frequently to avoid sticky messes.
  • Taste as you go: Adjust sweetness and raspberry intensity before chilling to get the perfect flavor balance.
  • Store in a cool place: Chocolate is sensitive to heat and humidity; keep your truffles refrigerated until serving.
