directions

Finely crush the freeze-dried raspberries and set aside.

In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream and butter over medium heat until just beginning to simmer.

Pour the hot cream mixture over the chopped white chocolate in a bowl. Let sit for 2-3 minutes to melt, then stir until smooth.

Stir in the crushed raspberries, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until evenly combined.

Cover the bowl and refrigerate the mixture for 2-3 hours, or until firm enough to scoop.

Once chilled, use a small scoop or spoon to form truffle-sized balls. Roll them quickly between your hands for a smooth finish.

Optional: Roll the truffles in powdered sugar or additional crushed raspberries for a decorative coating.

Place the finished truffles on a parchment-lined tray and refrigerate until firm.

Can I make these dairy-free?
Yes, use dairy-free white chocolate and a plant-based cream alternative.
