WHY WE LOVE THIS RECIPE

Chocolate and raspberries are a heavenly flavor combination. The rich dark chocolate pairs beautifully with the fresh, slightly tangy taste of raspberries. Combine them into delightful No-Bake Raspberry Truffles for a decadent treat!

The filling is a luscious chocolate ganache infused with freeze-dried raspberries, creating a melt-in-your-mouth center. Each truffle is then coated in a thin, crunchy layer of dark chocolate. With just 4 ingredients, these truffles offer the perfect mix of textures for a truly indulgent experience.

INGREDIENTS NOTES

  • Chocolate: Opt for 70% cocoa dark chocolate, adjusting to your preference for intensity. Choose high-quality cooking chocolate, either chopped bars or couverture chocolate callets/pistoles for best results. Avoid chocolate chips or candy as they may not melt properly.
  • Cream: Use thickened or heavy cream with at least 30% fat content (also known as heavy whipping cream). For a dairy-free option, select a plant-based cream with similar fat content.
  • Honey: This ingredient is optional, adding a touch of sweetness to the ganache and aiding in achieving a smooth, creamy texture.
  • Raspberry Powder: Use freeze-dried raspberries blended into a fine powder, or pre-made raspberry powder. Avoid fresh raspberries as they release moisture and can disrupt the texture of the truffles.

OPTIONAL ADDITIONS

  • Vanilla: Enhance the flavor with a teaspoon of vanilla extract or paste.
  • Raspberry Jam or Raspberry Puree: For an added burst of raspberry goodness, freeze small dollops of raspberry jam or puree and roll the chocolate ganache around them to create a delightful raspberry heart inside each truffle.
  • Salt: Add a pinch of salt to elevate the flavors of the truffles.

Recipe FAQs:

How to Make Raspberry Powder: Blend freeze-dried raspberries in a small blender or food processor until finely powdered. Optionally, sift through a thin mesh sieve to remove seeds or lumps.

What is the Best Chocolate for Truffles? Opt for good quality Cooking Chocolate (usually in bar form) or Couverture Chocolate (Callets/Pistoles) for optimal results. Avoid using eating chocolate bars or chocolate chips/candy that may not melt smoothly.

Can I Use White Chocolate or Milk Chocolate? Yes, you can substitute the chocolate coating with equal amounts of milk or white chocolate.

Can I Make These Truffles Without Sweeteners? Absolutely! The honey is optional. You can use a less intense dark chocolate to naturally sweeten the truffles without any additional sweeteners.

STORING & FREEZING

  • Store these raspberry chocolate truffles in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week to maintain their best texture.
  • While freezing the finished truffles isn’t recommended, you can freeze the chocolate and raspberry center for up to a month. Coat them with chocolate when ready to serve.
