Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Fresh raspberries
- 8 ounces Dark chocolate (70% cocoa or higher)
- 0.3333 cup Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Cocoa powder
Instructions
1. In a small saucepan, heat the fresh raspberries over medium heat until they start to break down and release their juices, about 5 minutes. Use a fine mesh strainer to strain the raspberry puree into a bowl, discarding the seeds. You should have about 1/4 cup of raspberry puree.
2. Finely chop the dark chocolate and place it in a medium heatproof bowl.
3. In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream and butter over medium heat until just simmering. Do not let it boil.
4. Pour the hot cream and butter mixture over the chopped dark chocolate. Let it sit for 2-3 minutes to allow the chocolate to melt.
5. Stir the chocolate and cream mixture until smooth and glossy. Stir in the strained raspberry puree and vanilla extract until fully combined.
6. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the mixture for 2 hours, or until firm enough to scoop.
7. Using a melon baller or teaspoon, scoop small portions of the chocolate mixture and roll them into 1-inch balls using the palms of your hands. Work quickly, as the truffles will soften from the heat of your hands.
8. Place the cocoa powder in a shallow dish. Roll each truffle in the cocoa powder until fully coated, then transfer to a plate or airtight container.
9. Refrigerate the truffles for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow them to firm up again.
10. Store the truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Allow them to come to room temperature before serving for the best flavor.
