Ingredients

1 cup fresh or frozen raspberries (thawed if frozen)

2 1/2 cups powdered sugar

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/8 teaspoon salt

1 1/2 cups semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips

1 tablespoon coconut oil or vegetable shortening

1/2 cup white chocolate chips

1/4 teaspoon raspberry extract (optional)

Freeze-dried raspberry crumbles (optional garnish)

Instructions

1. Blend raspberries in a food processor until smooth, then strain to remove seeds. You should get about 1/3 cup of raspberry puree.

2. In a mixing bowl, combine raspberry puree, vanilla extract, salt, and optional raspberry extract. Gradually mix in powdered sugar until a thick dough forms. Chill for 30–60 minutes.

3. Once firm, roll the filling into small balls using a cookie scoop or spoon. Place on parchment-lined baking sheet and chill again.

4. Melt the dark chocolate chips with coconut oil in a microwave or double boiler until smooth.

5. Dip each chilled truffle ball into melted chocolate using a fork. Let excess drip off and place onto parchment paper.

6. Melt white chocolate and drizzle over truffles. Optionally, sprinkle with freeze-dried raspberry crumbles. Let set at room temp or in fridge.

7. Once set, transfer to an airtight container. Refrigerate for up to 7 days or freeze for 2 months.

Notes

If your filling is too soft, add more powdered sugar slowly until it becomes firm enough to roll.

For a richer filling texture, add a tablespoon of melted white chocolate to the mixture.

Always chill the truffles before dipping for a smooth and even chocolate coating.
