Instructions

Start by defrosting the raspberries.
Finely chop the white chocolate and set aside.
Blend the thawed raspberries until pureed.
Strain the raspberry puree to remove seeds, adding a bit of water if necessary to maintain a puree texture.
In a saucepan, combine the raspberry puree and powdered sugar, stirring to mix.
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring frequently.
Reduce the heat to low and continue stirring until the mixture reduces by half, about 25 minutes.
Stir in the heavy whipping cream until completely incorporated.
In a large bowl, add the chopped white chocolate and pour in the warm raspberry puree, mixing until smooth and melted.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 hours until firm.
Scoop the ganache and shape into 1-inch balls using your hands.
Melt the dark chocolate, then dip each truffle carefully and shake off excess.
Place the dipped truffles on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and repeat the process for the remaining truffles.
Refrigerate the truffles for about 25 minutes to set the chocolate. You may have leftover dark chocolate to spread and set for later use.

Notes

Ensure the white chocolate is finely chopped for even melting.
Using a warm water bath can help melt the chocolate smoothly.
It’s normal to have excess melted chocolate; it can be reused or transformed into decorations.
