Ingredients
  

Truffle Filling
  • 180 g dark chocolate finely chopped 70% cocoa for rich flavor
  • 180 ml heavy cream full-fat for a smooth ganache
  • 15 ml honey optional adds extra softness
  • 10 g raspberry powder freeze-dried raspberries finely blended and sifted
Chocolate Coating
  • 150 g dark chocolate finely chopped for easy melting
  • 5 g raspberry powder for sprinkling or mixing into the coating

Method
 

  1. Blend freeze-dried raspberries into a fine powder and pass them through a sieve to remove seeds if making your own raspberry powder.
  2. Place the chopped dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl and microwave just until the edges begin to soften without fully melting.
  3. Heat the heavy cream and honey together in a small saucepan until tiny bubbles appear around the edges, then remove from the heat.
  4. Pour half of the hot cream over the chocolate and let it rest for 1 minute before stirring gently until combined.
  5. Add the remaining warm cream and continue stirring until the mixture becomes completely smooth and glossy.
  6. Stir in the raspberry powder until evenly incorporated, then transfer the ganache to a shallow container and refrigerate for about 2 hours or until firm enough to scoop.
  7. Line a baking tray with parchment paper while the ganache chills.
  8. Scoop portions of the chilled ganache and quickly roll each one into a smooth ball using your hands.
  9. Arrange the truffle balls on the prepared tray and chill them in the freezer for 15 minutes or in the refrigerator for 30 minutes until firm.
  10. Melt the coating chocolate in short microwave intervals, stirring after each burst until smooth and fluid.
  11. Dip each chilled truffle into the melted chocolate, allow any excess to drip away, and return it to the lined tray.
  12. Immediately sprinkle the tops with raspberry powder if desired before the coating begins to set.
  13. Refrigerate the finished truffles for about 30 minutes before serving or storing.
