Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 10.5 ounces (298 grams) white chocolate, chopped into small bits
- 1 cup freeze-dried raspberry, crushed
- ¼ cup (57 grams) unsalted butter, at room temperature
Sweetening and Flavoring Ingredients:
- ½ cup powdered sugar for dusting
- 3 tablespoons rosewater
Instructions
- Transform freeze-dried raspberries into delicate powder using a food processor or blender, ensuring a fine, consistent texture for later garnishing.
- Melt white chocolate and unsalted butter in a microwave-safe bowl, using 30-second intervals at medium-high power, stirring after each burst to create a smooth, uniform mixture without scorching.
- Gently incorporate rosewater and ground raspberry powder into the melted chocolate blend, whisking carefully to maintain a silky consistency and prevent air bubbles from forming.
- Protect the mixture with cling film, pressing directly against the surface to prevent moisture loss, and allow to cool to room temperature.
- Refrigerate the chocolate mixture for 2-3 hours or overnight, enabling it to solidify and develop a firm, rollable texture.
- Using a cookie scoop or clean hands, shape the chilled truffle mixture into small, compact spheres approximately in size.
- Roll each truffle thoroughly in powdered sugar, ensuring complete and even coverage.
- If the truffles become too soft during handling, briefly return them to the refrigerator to firm up before continuing the rolling process.
- Arrange the sugar-coated truffles on a parchment-lined plate or tray, then chill for an additional 30-60 minutes to set completely before serving.
