Ingredients
Scale
Chocolate Base
- 200g dark chocolate
- 50g cream
- 50g butter
Fruit
- 100g fresh raspberries
Finishing
- Cocoa powder for dusting
Instructions
- Melt the Chocolate: Place the dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl over simmering water, stirring until fully melted and smooth.
- Mash the Raspberries: In a separate bowl, gently mash the fresh raspberries to release their juices but keep some texture.
- Combine Cream and Butter: Stir the cream and butter into the melted chocolate until the mixture is smooth and glossy.
- Add Raspberries: Fold the mashed raspberries into the chocolate mixture, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
- Chill the Mixture: Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 1 hour to allow the truffle mixture to firm up for shaping.
- Form Truffles: Using your hands or a small scoop, shape the chilled mixture into small balls.
- Coat with Cocoa Powder: Roll the truffle balls in cocoa powder until fully coated, giving them an elegant finish.
- Final Chill: Place the coated truffles back in the refrigerator to chill again for at least 30 minutes before serving to set.
Notes
- Use high-quality dark chocolate with at least 60% cocoa for a richer flavor.
- Ensure the raspberry mash is not too watery to avoid a runny mixture.
- Chill times are important to make shaping easier and preserve the truffles’ texture.
- These truffles can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
- For a twist, try rolling truffles in crushed nuts or shredded coconut instead of cocoa powder.
