Raspberry Truffles are decadent chocolate bites filled with a creamy raspberry-infused ganache, coated in melted chocolate or rolled in cocoa powder. Perfect for gifting, holidays, or a luxurious treat, these rich and fruity truffles are elegant and easy to make.

Ingredients

  • 8 oz semi-sweet or dark chocolate, chopped (or chocolate chips)
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup freeze-dried raspberries, crushed (or 2–3 tbsp raspberry jam)
  • 1 tbsp butter (optional, for richness)
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
  • Pinch of salt
  • 6 oz coating chocolate (for dipping)
  • Optional toppings: crushed freeze-dried raspberries, cocoa powder, powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. Heat heavy cream in a saucepan over medium heat until just simmering.
  2. Pour hot cream over chopped chocolate in a heatproof bowl. Let sit for 1 minute, then stir until smooth.
  3. Stir in crushed freeze-dried raspberries or raspberry jam, butter, vanilla, and salt until fully incorporated.
  4. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours until firm.
  5. Use a small scoop or spoon to form small balls. Roll quickly between your hands and place on a parchment-lined tray.
  6. Freeze for 15–20 minutes to firm up.
  7. Melt coating chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a double boiler or in short bursts in the microwave.
  8. Dip each chilled truffle into the melted chocolate, then return to tray. Sprinkle with optional toppings before the coating sets.
  9. Chill again briefly, then let sit at room temperature for 10–15 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Use raspberry jam for a smoother texture, or freeze-dried raspberries for a more intense fruity flavor.
  • Skip dipping and roll truffles in cocoa powder, powdered sugar, or chopped nuts for a simpler version.
  • Use white or milk chocolate for a different flavor profile.
  • Make vegan by using dairy-free chocolate and coconut cream instead of heavy cream and butter.
  • Truffles can be frozen for longer storage and thawed in the fridge before serving.
