Ingredients
Scale
- 8 ounces (225 grams) dark chocolate (at least 60% cocoa)
- 1 cup (125 grams) fresh raspberries
- ½ cup (120 ml) heavy cream
Instructions
- Finely chop 8 ounces (225 grams) of dark chocolate and place it in a heatproof bowl.
- Pour ½ cup (120 ml) of heavy cream into a small saucepan and warm over medium heat until it just starts to simmer, about 3-4 minutes.
- Pour the hot cream over the chopped chocolate. Let sit undisturbed for 2-3 minutes, then gently stir until smooth and glossy.
- Mash 1 cup (125 grams) of fresh raspberries until smooth and fold the puree into the chocolate ganache until fully combined.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours until firm.
- Portion out the chilled ganache (about 1 tablespoon or 15 ml per truffle) using a cookie scoop or spoons and roll into smooth balls.
- Optionally, roll the truffles in cocoa powder, finely chopped nuts, or crushed freeze-dried raspberries.
- Place shaped truffles on a lined baking sheet and refrigerate for another 30 minutes to set before serving.
Notes
Use good quality dark chocolate for best results. Do not overheat the cream to avoid lumpy ganache. Chill ganache fully before rolling to prevent sticking. Work quickly with slightly warm hands when shaping. Freeze ganache for 15-20 minutes if needed to firm up before rolling.
