Ingredients
1 cup fresh raspberries
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch salt
1 1/2 cups semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips (for coating)
1/4 cup white chocolate chips (optional, for drizzling)
Instructions
1. In a food processor, combine the raspberries, sugar, butter, vanilla extract, and salt. Blend until smooth.
2. Transfer the mixture to a bowl and refrigerate for 30–45 minutes until firm enough to scoop.
3. Use a small scoop or spoon to shape the raspberry filling into 1-inch balls. Place on a parchment-lined tray and freeze for at least 30 minutes.
4. Melt the chocolate in a double boiler or microwave-safe bowl in 20-second increments, stirring between each, until smooth.
5. Dip each frozen raspberry ball into the melted chocolate using a fork or dipping tool. Let excess drip off, then return to the tray.
6. Drizzle with melted white chocolate if desired.
7. Refrigerate until the chocolate is set, then serve chilled or store as directed.
Notes
For a glossy chocolate coating, add 1 teaspoon of coconut oil when melting the chocolate.
If using frozen raspberries, thaw and drain completely to prevent excess moisture.
Roll truffles in cocoa powder or crushed freeze-dried raspberries for an extra layer of texture and flavor.
