Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Dark chocolate (70% cocoa or higher)
- 120 ml Heavy cream
- 30 grams Unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons Raspberry jam
- 50 grams Cocoa powder (for coating)
- 10 grams Optional: Freeze-dried raspberries (for garnishing)
Instructions
Chop the dark chocolate into small, even pieces and place it in a heatproof bowl.
In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it just starts to simmer. Do not let it boil.
Pour the hot cream over the chopped chocolate and let it sit for 2-3 minutes to melt. Then, gently stir until the mixture is smooth and glossy.
Add the unsalted butter and raspberry jam to the chocolate mixture, and stir until fully incorporated.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2-3 hours or until the mixture is firm enough to scoop.
Using a teaspoon or small cookie scoop, portion out small amounts of the chilled chocolate mixture and roll them into bite-sized balls with your hands. Work quickly to prevent the chocolate from melting.
Roll each truffle in cocoa powder to coat evenly. If desired, sprinkle or roll the truffles in crushed freeze-dried raspberries for an extra burst of flavor and color.
Place the finished truffles on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Once all the truffles are shaped and coated, refrigerate them for another 30 minutes to firm up completely.
Serve the truffles chilled or at room temperature. Store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
