Ingredients
  

Truffle Ingredients
  • 1 dry pint fresh raspberries About 340g, washed and completely dried
  • 8 oz cream cheese 225g, softened to room temperature
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar 60g, plus 1 tbsp (8g) for dusting
  • 1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs 60g, finely crushed
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract 5ml
  • 10 oz dark chocolate bars 280g, roughly chopped
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil 15g
  • 2 oz white chocolate 55g, for drizzle

Equipment

  • 1 Electric hand mixer For blending the cheesecake filling smoothly.
  • 1 Baking Sheet with Parchment Paper Crucial for freezing and setting the dipped truffles.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a medium mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and vanilla extract on medium speed until completely smooth. Gradually beat in the 1/2 cup of powdered sugar. Fold in the graham cracker crumbs using a silicone spatula until a thick dough forms. Chill the mixture in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
  2. Scoop out 1 tablespoon of the chilled cheesecake mixture and flatten it into a small disc. Place one fresh raspberry in the center and wrap the cheesecake filling around it, rolling it into a smooth ball. Place the rolled truffles into the freezer for at least 45 minutes until entirely firm.
  3. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chopped dark chocolate and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second increments, stirring well after each burst, until 90% melted. Stir gently until fully melted and glossy. Let cool for 5 minutes.
  4. Using a dipping fork, submerge one frozen truffle into the dark chocolate, turning to coat. Tap the fork gently to remove excess chocolate. Slide the truffle onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Repeat for all truffles. Let set for 10 minutes.
  5. Melt the white chocolate and pipe a delicate drizzle over the set truffles. Before the white chocolate sets, press a fresh raspberry onto the top of each. Just before serving, sprinkle lightly with powdered sugar.

Notes

Ensure raspberries are completely dry before rolling them into the filling to prevent the cheesecake dough from getting soggy.
If the dark chocolate gets too thick while dipping, microwave it again for 10 seconds.
