Description
Simple recipe for making rich white chocolate raspberry truffles.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 ounces white chocolate, chopped
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup fresh raspberries, mashed
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup white chocolate, melted for dipping
- 1/4 cup freeze-dried raspberries, crushed for coating (optional)
Instructions
- Place the chopped white chocolate in a heatproof bowl.
- In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth.
- Add the mashed fresh raspberries and vanilla extract to the cream cheese mixture. Mix well.
- Melt the 8 ounces of chopped white chocolate using a double boiler or microwave in short bursts. Stir until smooth.
- Combine the melted white chocolate with the cream cheese and raspberry mixture. Stir until fully incorporated.
- Cover the mixture and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or until firm enough to roll.
- Scoop the chilled mixture using a small spoon or melon baller and roll into small balls. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Melt the remaining 1 cup of white chocolate for dipping.
- Dip each truffle into the melted white chocolate, allowing excess to drip off.
- If using, immediately roll the dipped truffles in the crushed freeze-dried raspberries.
- Return the finished truffles to the parchment-lined sheet and chill until the coating is set.
Notes
- For a smoother coating, add 1 teaspoon of coconut oil to the melted white chocolate used for dipping.
- If you do not have freeze-dried raspberries, you can dust the truffles with powdered sugar or cocoa powder.
