White Chocolate Raspberry Truffle Recipes

RASPBERRY AND WHITE CHOCOLATE TRUFFLES

Steps:

• 1. Place half the chocolate in a heatproof bowl. Combine the cream and lemon zest in a small saucepan over medium heat and bring almost to the boil. Remove from the heat and swirl the pan to mix well. Pour the cream mixture over the chocolate and stir until the chocolate has melted. Place the bowl over a saucepan of simmering water if the chocolate does not melt completely. Allow to cool to room temperature, then place in the refrigerator for 3 hours, or until set but still pliable. 2. Line a tray with baking paper. Working quickly, flatten a tablespoon of the chocolate mixture in the palm of your hands. Place a raspberry in the centre, wrap the chocolate around it and roll it into a ball. Transfer to the prepared tray. Repeat, using all of the mixture. Return to the refrigerator for 1 hour. 3. Meanwhile, place the remaining chocolate in a heatproof bowl. Half fill a saucepan with water, bring to the boil and remove from the heat. Sit the bowl over the saucepan, making sure the base of the bowl doesn't touch the water. Stand, stirring occasionally, until the chocolate has melted. Remove the bowl from the saucepan. 4. Dip the balls, one by one, in the melted chocolate and roll until they are completely covered. Use two small spoons to remove each ball from the chocolate and return to the tray. Repeat until all the balls are coated in chocolate. Transfer to the refrigerator for 1 hour to set. Dust with the icing sugar and serve.

WHITE CHOCOLATE RASPBERRY TRUFFLES

Steps:

• Add freeze dried raspberries to the food processor and pulse to make a powder. Set aside.
• Add heavy cream to a small sauce pan on medium heat and simmer over low heat or microwave for 1 minute, until hot and boiling.
• When heavy cream just starts to boil, remove it from heat and stir in butter until fully combined and smooth. If the mixture has small lumps and you can microwave if for only 20 seconds, but not more, as you don't want to fully melt the butter.
• Stir in the raspberry powder. Set aside to come to room temperature.
• Add chopped white chocolate to a microwave safe bowl, and microwave on high in 20 seconds intervals until chocolate is melted. Stir very well after each interval to make sure the chocolate doesn't overheat and become unusable. You may need 2-3 intervals of 20 seconds for the chocolate to fully melt. Use the residual heat from chocolate to melt any remaining small pieces of chocolate by stirring well. Set aside for the chocolate to cool off to room temperature.
• Add melted white chocolate to the butter mixture and stir well to combine. Cover with plastic wrap and place in the fridge for 1-2 hours. While the mixture is cooling in the fridge stir it a few times so the fat from the butter doesn't separate on top. Make sure you stir it often especially during the first 30 minutes, otherwise the butter will separate and harden.
• Remove mixture from fridge, let it come to room temperature so its easy to work with.
• Using a small ice cream scoop or a measuring spoon, scoop the mixture and roll into balls, roll into powdered sugar and place on waxed paper. Repeat the process.
• If the truffles stick to your hand, dust your hands with powdered sugar.
• Truffles can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for 7-10 days. Or they can be frozen for longer storage for 2-3 months.
• Don't store truffles at room temperature as they will lose their shape, or melt due to the high butter content.
• Enjoy!

WHITE CHOCOLATE RASPBERRY TRUFFLES

Steps:

• In a 2 quart sauce pan, over medium heat, bring creamer to a simmer while stirring. Reduce heat to low, add butter and chocolate and continue to stir until melted. Remove from heat and pour into a shallow bowl or pan. Allow to cool completely (you can speed this along by placing in the fridge for 30-90 minutes).
• Use a small cookie scoop to portion the chocolate and then roll each into a ball and place on wax paper. Chocolate will melt a little from the heat of your hands so place back in the fridge for about 30 minutes or until firm again.
• Blend freeze dried raspberries until finely crushed and place in a bowl.
• Heat white melting wafers in a microwave proof bowl at half power and stir every 30 seconds until smooth.
• Your chocolate balls should be firm again but not too cold. (If you left them in the fridge for hours you'll want to let them sit on the counter for about 30 minutes before coating or else the temperature will cause the coating to crack once it dries.)
• Drop the ball into the melted chocolate, gently push and roll it around with a fork, and then lift it out. Tap the fork over the bowl and scrape the bottom of the fork on the side of the bowl to let excess chocolate drip off and back into the bowl. Use a tooth pick or another fork to help push the truffle off the fork and onto the wax paper. Immediately sprinkle with the freeze dried raspberries (if you wait, the chocolate will harden and they won't stick). Repeat with remaining truffles.
• Truffles can be left at room temperature.

CHOCOLATE-COVERED RASPBERRY TRUFFLES

• Bring cream just to a simmer in a 1- to 2-quart heavy saucepan over moderate heat. Remove from heat, then add chocolate and stir gently with a heatproof rubber spatula until ganache is smooth. Stir in framboise.
• Pat raspberries dry if necessary. Add 6 to 8 raspberries to ganache and gently fold in to coat using rubber spatula. Remove each chocolate-covered raspberry with 2 forks, shifting it from one fork to the other to let excess ganache drip off, then transfer to tray. Coat remaining raspberries in same manner, working in batches of 6 to 8.
• Chill truffles on tray until firm, at least 1 hour, then loosen from wax paper.
• Put cocoa in a sealable bag and add all of truffles. Seal bag, leaving some air in, and shake to coat. Empty bag into a shallow bowl. Transfer coated truffles to a platter with your fingers, shaking off excess cocoa. Keep chilled until ready to serve.
