How to Make Raspberry Chocolate Truffles
Ingredients you’ll need for this recipe
Ingredients you’ll need for the coating
Step-by-Step Guide
1. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the 2 cups of chocolate chips and the whipping cream. Microwave in 30-second increments, stirring between each one, until the mixture is smooth and melted.
2. Blend the freeze-dried raspberries until they’re completely crushed. Stir the raspberry powder into the melted chocolate mixture.
3. Use a cookie scoop to portion out the truffle batter. Then, roll each portion into a ball about the size of a walnut.
4. In a separate bowl, melt the remaining chocolate chips until smooth. Dip each truffle into the melted chocolate, then sprinkle a bit of crushed freeze-dried raspberries on top.
5. If your truffle batter is too soft to handle, chill it in the fridge for 10-15 minutes to firm it up before rolling.
Serve and Enjoy!
