# Ingredients:
→ Truffle Filling
01 -
1.6 ounces freeze-dried raspberries (approximately 2 cups)
02 -
14 ounces white chocolate chips or bars
03 -
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
04 -
¾ cup heavy whipping cream
→ Truffle Coating
05 -
14 ounces dark chocolate (bittersweet chocolate)
# Steps:
01 -
Add freeze-dried raspberries to a food processor and pulse until they form a fine powder. Set aside.
02 -
In a large glass bowl, add white chocolate and unsalted butter. Set aside for later use.
03 -
In a small saucepan, heat heavy whipping cream over low heat until it simmers. Do not let it boil. Once warm, pour it over the white chocolate and butter mixture. Let it sit for 5 minutes.
04 -
After the 5-minute resting period, stir the white chocolate and butter mixture with a spatula until smooth and fully combined.
05 -
Stir in ½ cup of the prepared raspberry powder. Taste for flavor, adding 1–2 additional tablespoons if needed. Reserve the remaining powder for decoration.
06 -
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for 2 hours.
07 -
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Use a 1-tablespoon cookie scoop to portion the chilled mixture and roll into balls. Place the truffles on the parchment paper and refrigerate or freeze them for 30 minutes.
08 -
Melt the dark chocolate according to the package instructions, preferably using the double boiler method.
09 -
Remove the truffles from the refrigerator or freezer. Using a fork or toothpick, dip each truffle in the melted dark chocolate, tapping off the excess. Place the coated truffles back onto the parchment paper.

Sprinkle a pinch of the reserved raspberry powder on top of each truffle. Allow the chocolate shell to set before serving.
# Notes and Tips:
