Raspberry Chocolate Truffles

Rich and creamy chocolate truffles infused with freeze-dried raspberry powder for a fruity twist, coated in smooth dark chocolate.

  • Total Time: 1 hour (including chilling time)
  • Yield: 12-15 truffles 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3/4 cup + 2 Tbsp heavy cream (210g)
  • 1 cup good quality semi-sweet or dark chocolate, chopped finely (175g, at least 60% cocoa solids)
  • 2 Tbsp unsalted butter, cubed (30g)
  • 1 Tbsp light corn syrup (optional, 15ml)
  • 1/2 tsp fine salt (3g)
  • 1/3 cup freeze-dried raspberry powder (30g)

Instructions

  1. Heat the heavy cream in a microwave-safe bowl in 15-second intervals until just beginning to bubble (about 1 minute).
  2. Pour the chopped chocolate, butter, light corn syrup, and fine salt into the hot cream, ensuring chocolate is fully covered. Let sit for 1 minute.
  3. Slowly stir the mixture until smooth and fully combined. If needed, microwave for another 15 seconds and stir again until smooth.
  4. Use a rubber spatula to fold in the freeze-dried raspberry powder until evenly incorporated.
  5. Press plastic wrap directly onto the ganache surface and refrigerate until fully chilled and firm.
  6. Scoop and shape the ganache into balls, then optionally coat or dust as desired.

Notes

Use good-quality chocolate with at least 60% cocoa for best flavor. Light corn syrup is optional but helps with smooth texture. Freeze-dried raspberries add vibrant flavor and color without moisture.
