1 cup fresh raspberries Can substitute with thawed frozen raspberries, drain excess liquid.
1 cup heavy cream
8 oz dark chocolate, chopped Use high-quality dark chocolate for best results.
1 teaspoon vanilla extract Add more for a stronger vanilla flavor.
2 cups crushed graham crackers or chocolate cookie crumbs Graham crackers provide a sweet base; chocolate cookie crumbs for richer flavor.
1 cup dark chocolate chips For coating the truffles.
Cocoa powder or crushed nuts Optional for garnish.

In a saucepan, heat the heavy cream until it begins to simmer. Remove from heat and add the chopped dark chocolate, stirring until smooth.
Add raspberries and vanilla extract to the chocolate mixture and mix well.
Fold in the crushed graham crackers or cookie crumbs until fully combined.
Chill the mixture in the refrigerator for about 1-2 hours, until it's firm.
Once firm, scoop out small portions and roll them into balls.
Melt the dark chocolate chips for coating and dip each truffle into the melted chocolate, then place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Optionally, dust with cocoa powder or crushed nuts before the chocolate sets.
Let the truffles chill in the refrigerator until the chocolate is firm, then serve and enjoy.

Store leftover truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. Flavors improve when allowed to sit overnight.
