These decadent white chocolate raspberry truffles combine creamy white chocolate with a tangy raspberry center for a luxurious homemade dessert that’s quick and easy to make.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 10 oz (280 g) good-quality couverture white chocolate (e.g., Callebaut or Ghirardelli)
  • 1/3 cup (80 ml) heavy cream
  • 2 tbsp (28 g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 tbsp (15 g) freeze-dried raspberries, ground into powder
  • 1/4 cup (40 g) fresh raspberries, gently mashed
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp powdered sugar (optional, to adjust sweetness)
  • White chocolate or raspberry powder for coating

Instructions

  1. Place freeze-dried raspberries in a food processor or spice grinder and pulse into a fine powder. Set aside. (About 5 minutes)
  2. Gently mash the fresh raspberries with a fork until slightly chunky. (2 minutes)
  3. Finely chop the white chocolate into small, even pieces. (5 minutes)
  4. In a small saucepan, warm the heavy cream and softened butter over medium heat until just before boiling (small bubbles around edges). (3-4 minutes)
  5. Pour the hot cream mixture over the chopped white chocolate in a heatproof bowl. Let sit for 2 minutes without stirring. (2 minutes)
  6. Slowly whisk the cream and chocolate together until smooth and glossy. If lumps remain, place bowl over warm water and stir gently until fully melted. (3-4 minutes)
  7. Stir in mashed fresh raspberries, raspberry powder, vanilla extract, and powdered sugar if using. Blend gently to combine, keeping some raspberry pieces intact. (2 minutes)
  8. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until firm enough to scoop. (2+ hours)
  9. Using a small spoon or melon baller, scoop out small portions of ganache and quickly roll between palms to form smooth balls. Work fast to avoid melting. (15-20 minutes)
  10. Roll each truffle in white chocolate powder, raspberry powder, or finely chopped freeze-dried raspberries. Place on parchment-lined baking sheet. (10 minutes)
  11. Chill finished truffles in fridge for about 30 minutes before serving to firm up completely. (30 minutes)

Notes

Use high-quality white chocolate for best results. Chill ganache thoroughly before rolling to avoid sticky truffles. If hands get sticky, dust with powdered sugar or chill ganache longer. Freeze-dried raspberries add intense flavor without moisture. For dairy-free version, substitute heavy cream with full-fat coconut milk and use dairy-free white chocolate. Store truffles in airtight container in fridge up to 1 week or freeze up to 3 months.
