Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by placing the frozen raspberries in a bowl at room temperature, allowing them to thaw for approximately 30 minutes.
  2. While the raspberries thaw, finely chop the 7 ounces of good quality white chocolate and set it aside.
  3. In a blender, pour the thawed raspberries and blend until smooth. Use a fine mesh strainer to separate seeds.
  4. In a medium saucepan, combine the strained raspberry puree with 1 cup of powdered sugar. Bring to a gentle boil, stirring continuously.
  5. Once reduced and thickened, remove from heat and gradually stir in ½ cup of heavy whipping cream.
  6. Pour the warm raspberry mixture over the chopped white chocolate and stir until smooth.
  7. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the ganache is firm.
  8. Use a melon baller to portion out the mixture, rolling them into 1-inch balls.
  9. Melt 7 ounces of dark chocolate until glossy and smooth.
  10. Dip each ganache ball into the melted dark chocolate and place back onto parchment-lined sheet.
  11. Refrigerate for about 25 minutes until the chocolate coating is firm.
  12. Serve the truffles at room temperature or wrap for a gift.
