Ingredients
  

For the Truffles

  • 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.

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • 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.

Notes

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