Delightfully rich and creamy White Chocolate Raspberry Truffles featuring a luscious blend of melted white chocolate, butter, and freeze-dried raspberry powder, coated in powdered sugar for a sweet and tangy finish. These no-bake truffles are perfect for elegant desserts or gifting and require chilling to set before serving.

Ingredients

Scale

Truffle Mixture

  • 12 ounces white chocolate, chopped
  • 1 stick unsalted butter, at room temperature
  • 5 tablespoons heavy cream
  • 2 cups freeze-dried raspberries (measure then process into powder)
  • ½ cup powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. Powder the Raspberries: Add the freeze-dried raspberries to a food processor and pulse until they become a fine powder. Set this raspberry powder aside for later use.
  2. Heat Heavy Cream: Place the heavy cream in a small saucepan and heat over medium to low heat until it begins to simmer and boil, or microwave it for about 1 minute until hot and boiling.
  3. Combine Butter and Cream: Remove the hot cream from heat and immediately stir in the room-temperature unsalted butter until the mixture is smooth and fully combined. If small lumps remain, microwave the mixture for a brief 20 seconds to help smooth it without fully melting the butter.
  4. Add Raspberry Powder: Stir the prepared raspberry powder into the butter and cream mixture thoroughly, then set aside and allow it to cool to room temperature.
  5. Melt the White Chocolate: Place the chopped white chocolate into a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high in 20-second intervals, stirring after each, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth. Use the residual heat while stirring to melt any remaining pieces. Let the melted chocolate cool to room temperature.
  6. Combine Chocolate with Butter Mixture: Add the cooled melted white chocolate to the raspberry butter mixture and stir well until fully combined. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours. Stir the mixture several times during the first 30 minutes to prevent fat separation.
  7. Bring Mixture to Room Temperature: Remove the chilled truffle mixture from the refrigerator and allow it to come back to room temperature so it’s easier to handle for forming.
  8. Form Truffles: Use a small ice cream scoop or measuring spoon to portion the mixture, then roll each portion into a ball between your hands.
  9. Coat with Powdered Sugar: Toss each truffle ball in the powdered sugar to coat evenly. Place the coated truffles on waxed paper. If the mixture sticks to your hands, dust your hands with powdered sugar to prevent sticking.
  10. Storage: Store the truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 7-10 days. For longer storage, freeze them for 2-3 months. Avoid storing truffles at room temperature as the high butter content will cause them to lose their shape or melt.

Notes

  • Stirring the truffle mixture multiple times during refrigeration prevents the butter from separating and ensures a smooth texture.
  • Dust your hands with powdered sugar if the truffles stick while rolling.
  • Do not store truffles at room temperature to maintain their shape and texture.
  • Freeze truffles for longer storage and thaw in the refrigerator before serving.
  • Use high-quality white chocolate for the best flavor and texture.
