  • 8 oz White Chocolate Ghirardelli recommended, or substitute with other brands.
  • 1 cup Freeze-Dried Raspberries Finely crushed into powder for smooth incorporation.

  • Double Boiler
  • Cookie Scoop

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Finely crush the freeze-dried raspberries using a food processor or mortar and pestle until powdered.
  2. In a heatproof bowl, combine the chopped white chocolate and softened unsalted butter.
  3. Heat the heavy whipping cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until simmering, then pour it over the chocolate mixture.
  4. Let it sit for about 5 minutes to melt, then whisk until it transforms into a creamy, smooth ganache.
  5. Gradually add the raspberry powder into the ganache, blending until evenly distributed.
  6. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for approximately 2 hours until hardened.
  7. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking, then roll each portion of ganache into small balls.
  8. Freeze the truffles for 30-45 minutes to firm them up before coating.
  9. Melt the bittersweet chocolate in a double boiler, stirring gently until smooth and cooled to 85-90°F.
  10. Dip each ganache ball into the melted chocolate using a fork and sprinkle with reserved raspberry powder.
  11. Allow them to set at room temperature for about 1 hour, or refrigerate for 15 minutes.
