Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 10.5 oz white chocolate, chopped into small bits
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter (55 g), at room temperature
- 3 tbsp rosewater
- 1/4 cup freeze-dried raspberry (60 g), crushed into fine crumbs
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar (50 g) for dusting
Instructions
- Crush the raspberries: Using a food processor or blender, pulse the freeze-dried raspberries into fine crumbs to add a fruity texture and flavor to the truffles.
- Melt the chocolate and butter: Place the white chocolate and unsalted butter in a microwave-safe bowl and heat on medium-high power in 30-second intervals, stirring between each until fully melted and smooth. Take care not to burn the chocolate.
- Mix and chill the truffle base: Add the ground raspberry crumbs and rosewater to the melted chocolate mixture and whisk gently until blended uniformly without incorporating too much air. Cover the surface directly with cling film and let it come to room temperature, then refrigerate for 2 to 3 hours or overnight until firm. If butter separates, stir it back in evenly.
- Shape and coat the truffles: Using a small cookie scoop, form 1-tablespoon sized balls of the chilled mixture. Roll each ball evenly in powdered sugar. If the mixture becomes too soft to handle, refrigerate to firm up again.
- Chill the formed truffles: Place the coated truffles on a lined plate and chill them in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to 1 hour before serving, allowing them to set perfectly.
Notes
- Using freeze-dried raspberries adds intense flavor without extra moisture.
- Make sure to cover the mixture with cling film touching the surface to prevent a skin from forming.
- If butter separates during chilling, simply stir well before shaping.
- Refrigerate the mixture if it becomes too warm and difficult to shape.
- Store the truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
