Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 g Dark chocolate (70% cocoa or higher)
- 120 ml Heavy cream
- 30 g Unsalted butter
- 2 tbsp Raspberry jam
- 20 g Freeze-dried raspberries
- 3 tbsp Cocoa powder
Instructions
Finely chop the dark chocolate 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 the chocolate.
Add the unsalted butter and raspberry jam to the bowl. Stir the mixture gently until smooth and glossy.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2-3 hours or until the mixture is firm enough to scoop.
While the mixture chills, crush the freeze-dried raspberries into a fine powder using a food processor or by placing them in a plastic bag and crushing with a rolling pin.
Once the chocolate mixture is firm, use a teaspoon or small cookie scoop to portion out small balls. Roll them quickly between your palms to form smooth spheres.
Roll each ball in the crushed freeze-dried raspberries to coat completely. Alternatively, you can roll them in cocoa powder for a richer flavor.
Place the finished fudge balls on a tray lined with parchment paper and refrigerate for 15 minutes to set.
Serve chilled or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
