Coating Ingredients

20 grams (0.7 ounces) freeze-dried strawberries or raspberries

Instructions

Step 1

Melt Chocolate and Cocoa Butter

In a microwave or double boiler, gently melt the white chocolate and cocoa butter. Stir until completely smooth and combined. Be careful not to overheat as chocolate can seize up.

Step 2

Prepare Fruit Puree Mixture

In a saucepan, combine the raspberry puree and strawberry puree with honey. Heat the mixture until it reaches a temperature of 80 degrees Celsius (176 degrees Fahrenheit).

Once heated, remove from the heat and add the melted chocolate mixture, along with the almond paste and coconut oil. Mix thoroughly until everything is well combined.

Step 3

Incorporate Protein Powder

Add the vanilla protein powder to the mixture. Using a whisk, beat until the mass thickens and achieves a uniform texture.

Step 4

Shape and Freeze Truffles

Transfer the mixture into a pastry bag. Fill your chosen truffle molds from @artconfi_market with the mixture.

Place the filled molds in the freezer for about 6 to 8 hours until solid.

Step 5

Finish and Enjoy

Once the truffles are set, remove them from the molds and coat them in the freeze-dried berries or dip them in tempered chocolate.

Your delicious strawberry-raspberry protein truffles are now ready to enjoy!

Faq

  • How can I ensure my chocolate melts perfectly?

    Start with small heat settings and check frequently. Adding a teaspoon of coconut oil can help achieve a smoother consistency.

  • What can I substitute for almond paste?

    If you prefer not to use almond paste, cashew butter or sunflower seed butter can be great substitutions while still adding richness.

  • How do I store the truffles after making them?

    Store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks or freeze them for up to three months!

  • Can I experiment with other fruit purees?

    Absolutely! Feel free to switch out strawberry and raspberry with purees of banana, mango, or even blueberries!

  • What’s the best way to get the truffles out of the mold without breaking them?

    Let the truffles sit at room temperature for a few minutes after removing them from the freezer. Gently press from underneath to pop them out.
