Instructions
Making Raspberry White Chocolate Truffles involves a few simple steps. Follow these instructions to create your gourmet truffles:
1. Prepare a Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or wax paper for easy cleanup.
2. Heat the Cream: In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it just begins to simmer. Do not allow it to boil.
3. Melt the Chocolate: Place the chopped white chocolate in a heatproof bowl. Pour the hot cream over the chocolate and let it sit for a minute. Stir until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
4. Add Flavorings: Stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt for added flavor.
5. Incorporate Raspberries: Gently fold in the fresh raspberries, being careful not to crush them too much.
6. Chill the Mixture: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator. Chill for 1-2 hours, or until the mixture is firm enough to handle.
7. Form the Truffles: Using a small cookie scoop or your hands, scoop out portions of the mixture and roll them into balls. A teaspoon-sized portion works well for this.
8. Coat the Truffles: Roll each truffle in white chocolate or cocoa powder to coat. Place them back on the prepared baking sheet.
9. Decorate (Optional): If desired, sprinkle some edible glitter on top for a festive touch.
10. Final Chill: Place the coated truffles back into the refrigerator for another 30 minutes to set completely.
