Categories     Berry     Chocolate

Number Of Ingredients 4

8 ounces Dark Chocolate (chips or chopped)
4 ounces Heavy Cream
2 tablespoons Raspberry Preserves
1/2 cup Dark Chocolate Cocoa Powder

Steps:

  • Place chocolate in a medium bowl and set aside.
  • Pour heavy cream into a sauce pan and heat over medium-high heat until almost boiling. Once you see it begin to steam and form small bubbles on the side, pull it off and immediately pour it over the chocolate. Let sit for 5 minutes, then stir together. The mixture should be extremely smooth, with all the chocolate melted. If needed, microwave the cream and chocolate together in 15 second increments, stirring when finished, until completely smooth.
  • Add raspberry preserves and stir to combine. Place uncovered in a refrigerator for about 2 hours, or until ganache has hardened and is scoopable.
  • Line a baking sheet or tray with parchment paper. Using a melon baller or a tablespoon, scoop out small portions of ganache. Use your hands to roll them into small balls. Place on the baking sheet and freeze for 15 minutes.
  • Place cocoa powder in a small bowl. Drop each truffle in the cocoa powder and roll until completely coated. Store in an airtight container in refrigerator until ready to serve.
