• Combine mascarpone, egg yolks, and 3 tablespoons sugar in a large bowl; beat with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
• Beat egg whites in a glass, metal, or ceramic bowl until until stiff peaks form. Lift your beater or whisk straight up: the egg whites will form sharp peaks. Carefully fold under mascarpone cream.

RASPBERRY TRUFFLES

Steps:

• Melt 8 ounces of chocolate.
• Heat the butter and cream until the butter is melted and small bubbles form.
• Pour into a small bowl and stir in the chocolate.
• Whisk in the jam and lemon juice.
• cover and refrigerate 60-90 minutes.
• Line a baking sheet with parchment.
• Spoon the mixture into mounds (about 2 teaspoons each).
• Refrigerate 15 minutes or until firm.
• Use the cornstarch to dust your hands, and roll the mixture into balls.
• Refrigerate overnight.
• Remove centers from the refrigerator to warm to room temperature before the next steps.
• Melt 1 1/2 pounds of chopped chocolate and temper as follows.
• If the chocolate is dull, grainy, or blemished, heat to at least 115 degrees.
• When the chocolate is nearly melted, stir to complete the melt.
• Let the chocolate cool to 100 degrees.
• Look at the chunk of solid chocolate- it should be smooth, dark, and glossy, without dullness or streaking.
• Submerge the 6 ounces of solid chocolate in the melted chocolate and stir until the chocolate cools to 90 degrees.
• What this process does is isomerize the chocolate as it cools, so that the cooled shells will stay glossy and smooth, even in the refrigerator.
• If the solid chunk is dull, streaky, or grained, it will have the opposite effect.
• The taste will be the same, but tempering the chocolate makes the truffles much more attractive.
• When the chocolate has cooled to 90 degrees, remove the chunk and save it for the next time you temper chocolate.
• Smear a thin sample of the melted chocolate on wax paper and refrigerate for 2 minutes.
• The smear should cool glossy and smooth, and should break with a snap.
• Dip each truffle in chocolate; two forks seem to work the best for this (although I'd be interested in hearing anyone else's idea).
• Top the truffles with cocoa or nuts if desired; if you plan to do this, do each truffle as you dip them, because they solidify fairly quickly.
• Refrigerate until set.
