Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Fresh raspberries
- 8 ounces Dark chocolate (70% cocoa)
- 1/2 cup Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup Cocoa powder
Instructions
Wash the fresh raspberries gently and pat them dry with a paper towel.
Place the raspberries in a blender or food processor and blend until smooth. Strain the puree through a fine mesh sieve into a small bowl to remove the seeds. Discard the seeds and set the puree aside.
Chop the dark chocolate into small, even-sized pieces and place them in a heatproof bowl.
In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it just begins to simmer. Do not let it boil.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and add the raspberry puree and unsalted butter to the cream. Stir well until the butter has completely melted and combined with the mixture.
Pour the hot raspberry mixture over the chopped chocolate. Let it sit undisturbed for 2-3 minutes to allow the chocolate to melt.
Gently stir the chocolate mixture until it becomes smooth and glossy, ensuring that all the chocolate is melted. Add the vanilla extract and stir to combine.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2-3 hours, or until the chocolate mixture is firm enough to scoop.
Using a small cookie scoop or a teaspoon, scoop out portions of the chilled chocolate mixture and quickly roll them into small balls using your hands. Work quickly to prevent the truffles from melting.
Roll each truffle in cocoa powder until evenly coated, then place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Refrigerate the truffles for another 30 minutes to set completely before serving.
Serve chilled or at room temperature, and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
