Quick and easy no-bake raspberry chocolate truffles that combine rich chocolate with a burst of raspberry flavor, perfect for last-minute desserts or sweet cravings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz semisweet chocolate chips
  • ½ cup heavy cream (120 ml)
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter, softened (28 g)
  • 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder (15 g)
  • ¼ cup freeze-dried raspberries, crushed (15 g)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (5 ml)
  • 1 tbsp powdered sugar (optional, 8 g)
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Warm the cream and butter in a medium saucepan over low heat until the butter melts and the mixture is just about to simmer, about 3-4 minutes.
  2. Place semisweet chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl. Pour the warm cream and butter mixture over the chocolate and let sit for 2 minutes to soften.
  3. Stir the chocolate and cream mixture slowly until smooth and glossy. Add vanilla extract, cocoa powder, salt, and powdered sugar if using. Stir well to combine.
  4. Fold in crushed freeze-dried raspberries gently.
  5. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 1 hour until firm enough to scoop and shape.
  6. Using a small cookie scoop or teaspoon, portion out the ganache and roll into balls between your palms.
  7. Roll each truffle in additional crushed freeze-dried raspberries, cocoa powder, or finely chopped nuts if desired. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  8. Refrigerate the truffles for another 30 minutes to set fully before serving.

Notes

Use good-quality chocolate for best flavor. Chill ganache thoroughly before rolling to avoid stickiness. Freeze-dried raspberries are essential for texture; fresh raspberries add too much moisture. Store truffles in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week or freeze for up to two months.
