Ingredients

Truffles

300 grams (10.6 ounces) white chocolate
40 grams (1.4 ounces) raspberry yoghurt
50 grams (1.8 ounces) raspberry puree
15 grams (0.5 ounces) cocoa butter
30 grams (1.1 ounces) liquid invert sugar syrup
Optional: 3 grams (0.1 ounces) balsamic sauce
We recommend:

Instructions

Step 1

1. Place the white chocolate in a microwave-safe cup. Melt it in the microwave in short bursts, stirring occasionally until smooth. Be careful not to overheat the chocolate, as it can burn quickly.

Step 2

2. Heat the raspberry puree, liquid invert sugar syrup, and cocoa butter in a saucepan until boiling. Strain to remove the seeds and sieve well to achieve a smooth consistency. You can also use a fine mesh strainer to ensure all seeds are removed.

Step 3

3. Stir the raspberry yoghurt into the strained raspberry mixture until well combined. Make sure the mixture is still warm when you add the yoghurt for a smoother blend.

Step 4

4. Pour the raspberry mixture into the melted white chocolate and blend with a hand blender until the mixture is smooth and well combined. Whip the mixture thoroughly to incorporate air, which will create a better texture for the truffles.

Step 5

5. Transfer the mixture to the fridge and allow it to set for 24 hours. After 24 hours, roll the chilled mixture into small balls and refrigerate again for another 8 hours. Use a small scoop or spoon to ensure uniformly sized truffles.

Step 6

6. Dip the chilled truffle balls in melted white chocolate, then immediately coat in raspberry powder. Optionally, add 3 grams of balsamic sauce to the truffle mixture for an extra layer of flavor.
