Ingredients
Scale
For the Truffle Center:
- 1/2 cup raspberry preserves
- 1 cup dark chocolate, finely chopped
- 3 tablespoons heavy cream
For the White Chocolate Shell:
- 2 cups white chocolate, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon vegetable shortening
For the Caramel Drizzle:
- 1/4 cup caramel sauce
To Finish:
- Freeze-dried raspberry powder for dusting
Instructions
- Prepare Raspberry Preserves: Warm the raspberry preserves slightly and strain to remove the seeds. Allow it to cool.
- Melt the Dark Chocolate: In a heat-proof bowl, melt the dark chocolate and heavy cream over a pot of simmering water, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and mix in the cooled raspberry preserves.
- Chill the Mixture: Place the mixture in the refrigerator and chill until firm, about 1 hour.
- Shape the Truffles: Once the mixture has chilled, scoop out teaspoon-sized amounts and roll them into balls. Arrange on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and freeze for 30 minutes.
- Melt the White Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate and shortening together in 20-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
- Coat the Truffles: Using a fork, dip each frozen truffle into the melted white chocolate, ensuring they are fully coated. Let any excess chocolate drip off before returning them to the parchment paper.
- Drizzle with Caramel: Once coated, drizzle the truffles with caramel sauce and dust with freeze-dried raspberry powder. Chill until set.
Notes
- Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor.
- Adjust the sweetness by using less raspberry preserves if desired.
