Instructions
- Place the raspberries in a fine-mesh sieve and press them with the back of a spoon to extract the juice. Discard the seeds and set aside the raspberry puree.
- In a heatproof bowl, add the chopped dark chocolate.
- In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream and butter over medium heat until it begins to simmer. Remove from heat and pour over the chopped chocolate. Let it sit for a minute to melt the chocolate.
- Add the raspberry puree and vanilla extract to the chocolate mixture. Stir until smooth and well combined.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate the mixture for at least 2 hours or until firm.
- Using a small spoon or a melon baller, scoop out portions of the chilled mixture and roll them into small truffle-sized balls.
- Roll the truffles in cocoa powder to coat evenly.
- Place the truffles in an airtight container and refrigerate for another 30 minutes to set.
- Serve the Chocolate Covered Raspberry Truffles chilled and enjoy!
Service Suggestion
- Pair with a glass of sparkling wine for a luxurious dessert experience.
- Present the truffles in a decorative box for a thoughtful homemade gift.
Notes
- For added texture, you can roll the truffles in crushed nuts or shredded coconut instead of cocoa powder.
- Store the truffles in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to one week.
