Elegant Raspberry Chocolate Truffles

Print Recipe

Delicate truffles combining rich dark chocolate and tart freeze-dried raspberry powder for a balanced, elegant treat coated in smooth chocolate.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3/4 cup + 2 Tbsp heavy cream (210g)
  • 1 cup good quality semi-sweet or dark chocolate, finely chopped (175g, at least 60% cocoa solids)
  • 2 Tbsp unsalted butter, cubed (30g)
  • 1 Tbsp light corn syrup (optional, 15ml)
  • 1/2 tsp fine salt (3g)
  • 1/3 cup freeze dried raspberry powder (30g)

Instructions

  1. Heat the heavy cream in a microwave-safe bowl in 15-second intervals until just beginning to bubble, about 1 minute.
  2. Pour the hot cream over the chopped dark chocolate, cubed butter, light corn syrup, and fine salt. Let sit for 1 minute.
  3. Stir slowly until the mixture is smooth and chocolate is fully melted. If needed, heat again for 15 seconds and stir.
  4. Fold the freeze-dried raspberry powder gently into the chocolate mixture using a rubber spatula.
  5. Press plastic wrap flush against the ganache surface and refrigerate until firm, about 2 hours.
  6. Scoop and shape into balls, then coat with additional melted dark chocolate if desired.
  7. Chill truffles to set chocolate coating before serving.

Notes

Use good quality chocolate for best flavor. Freeze-dried raspberry powder gives intense fruit flavor without adding moisture. Light corn syrup is optional but adds shine and smooth texture to ganache.
