How to Make

Quick Overview

Raspberry White Chocolate Truffles might look impressive, but they’re surprisingly easy to whip up! With just a few ingredients and basic kitchen tools, you’ll have rich, creamy, and fruity truffles ready to share (or not!) in about 45 minutes, plus chill time. The recipe requires minimal cook time and no special equipment—just melt, mix, chill, roll, and enjoy. Perfect for a quick party treat or a fun activity with kids.

Ingredients

2 cups white chocolate (good quality, chopped or chips)
1/4 cup heavy cream
1 1/2 tablespoons corn syrup
1/3 cup raspberry jam (seedless preferred)
1 1/2 tablespoons raspberry liqueur (optional, but highly recommended for flavor)
2 cups white chocolate (for coating, melted or tempered)

Step-by-Step

Chop the white chocolate into small pieces and place it in a heatproof bowl.
In a small saucepan, combine the heavy cream and corn syrup, and heat gently until just simmering (do not boil).
Pour the hot cream mixture over the chopped white chocolate. Let it sit for a minute to soften, then stir until smooth and creamy.
Add the raspberry jam and raspberry liqueur, mixing until fully incorporated and the mixture is silky and uniform.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate for about 2 hours, or until the ganache is firm and can be scooped.
Once chilled, use a small cookie scoop or spoon to portion out the ganache. Roll each portion into a ball between your hands. Place on a lined baking sheet.
Re-chill the truffle centers for 15–20 minutes to firm up before coating.
Melt the remaining white chocolate for coating. Using a fork or dipping tool, dip each truffle center into the melted white chocolate, letting any excess drip off.
Place the coated truffles back on the lined tray and let them set until the chocolate hardens. For a decorative touch, drizzle with extra melted white chocolate or sprinkle with freeze-dried raspberries.
Store the finished truffles in the refrigerator until ready to serve.

What to Serve Raspberry White Chocolate Truffles With

Pair these sweet and tangy truffles with a warm cup of Earl Grey tea, a glass of sparkling wine, or even a refreshing raspberry lemonade for a summery vibe. For a dessert that’s truly impressive, arrange your truffles alongside an assortment of fresh berries, shortbread cookies, or even your favorite ice cream for a decadent sundae. They also make an elegant finishing touch for a cheese and fruit platter at your next gathering.

Top Tips for Perfecting

Use high-quality white chocolate for the best melt and flavor—cheap chocolate can seize or separate.
If you want a non-alcoholic version, swap the raspberry liqueur for extra raspberry jam and a splash of raspberry or vanilla extract.
If the ganache is too soft to shape, chill it longer or stir in a little more melted chocolate.
For easy dipping, keep your hands and utensils cool, and chill the truffle centers well before coating.
Avoid letting any water get into your melted chocolate, as this can cause it to seize.
Experiment with coatings: try rolling truffles in finely chopped nuts, coconut, or even cocoa powder for variety.

Storing and Reheating Tips

Truffles store beautifully and can be made ahead! Place finished truffles in a single layer in an airtight container, using parchment paper between layers if needed. Keep in the refrigerator for up to a week. If you plan to store them longer, freeze in an airtight, freezer-safe container for up to two months—just thaw them in the fridge before serving. Avoid microwaving the truffles to reheat, as this will melt the coating; simply let them come to room temperature on a plate for about 10–15 minutes before enjoying.

FAQs

Can I use dark or milk chocolate instead of white chocolate?
Yes! You can swap white chocolate for any chocolate you love. Note that the flavor will change, but both dark and milk chocolate work well with raspberry.

Is the raspberry liqueur necessary?
No, it’s optional. The liqueur enhances the raspberry flavor, but you can leave it out or substitute with additional jam or a drop of raspberry extract for a non-alcoholic version.

How do I keep the truffle coating smooth and shiny?
Temper the white chocolate for the best, glossy finish, or melt gently and dip quickly. Don’t overheat, and avoid introducing water.

What can I use instead of corn syrup?
Honey or golden syrup can be used in place of corn syrup, although the texture and taste may vary slightly.

Can I make these truffles ahead of time?
Absolutely! These truffles are perfect for making ahead and storing in the fridge (up to 1 week) or freezing for future treats.
