Steps:
- Start to defrost the raspberries.
- Chop finely the white chocolate. Set aside. (Note: absolutely necessary to chop finely the chocolate. It will help to melt uniformly in the puree)
- Add the thawed raspberries in a blender and whizz until they are completely reduced in puree.
- Pour the raspberry puree through a strainer to remove the seeds. You might need to add a bit of water if your puree is too thick (just a little bit of water, we still want a puree texture).
- In a saucepan, add the raspberry puree and the powdered sugar. Stir.
- Over medium heat, bring to boil, stirring frequently.
- Once boiled, heat over low heat, stirring frequently, until it is reduced by about half. It takes about 25 minutes.
- Add the heavy whipping cream. Mix until fully incorporated.
- In a large bowl, add the chopped white chocolate. Pour the warm raspberry puree and stir until the chocolate is melted and the texture is smooth. (Note: you can let your bowl in a warm water bath. It would help to melt the chocolate.)
- Cover with a plastic wrap and place in the fridge for 2 hours until firm.
- Scoop the ganache and, using your hands, shape into small balls (about 1 inch diameter).
- Melt the dark chocolate. Using a fork, dip a truffle into the melted chocolate. Shake gently to allow any excess of chocolate to drip back.
- Place the truffle onto a baking sheet lined with a baking parchment. Dip the remaining truffles, one by one.
- Refrigerate the truffles until the chocolate is set (about 25 min). Note: You should have an excess of dark chocolate but necessary to dip the truffles properly. Once all the truffles are covered with chocolate, pour the remaining melted chocolate on a baking parchment, spread it and let it set. You can reuse it later.

Steps:
- Line a tray with wax paper.
- Bring cream just to a simmer in a 1- to 2-quart heavy saucepan over moderate heat. Remove from heat, then add chocolate and stir gently with a heatproof rubber spatula until ganache is smooth. Stir in framboise.
- Pat raspberries dry if necessary. Add 6 to 8 raspberries to ganache and gently fold in to coat using rubber spatula. Remove each chocolate-covered raspberry with 2 forks, shifting it from one fork to the other to let excess ganache drip off, then transfer to tray. Coat remaining raspberries in same manner, working in batches of 6 to 8.
- Chill truffles on tray until firm, at least 1 hour, then loosen from wax paper.
- Put cocoa in a sealable bag and add all of truffles. Seal bag, leaving some air in, and shake to coat. Empty bag into a shallow bowl. Transfer coated truffles to a platter with your fingers, shaking off excess cocoa. Keep chilled until ready to serve.

Steps:
- In a saucepan bring to the cream just to a boil over moderate heat and remove from heat.
- Add chocolate, stirring, until smooth.
- Let cool slightly and add butter, bit by bit, stirring until smooth.
- Stir in jam, Chambord and a pinch of salt and transfer to a bowl.
- Chill, covered, for 4 hours, or until firm.
- Form mixture by heaping teaspoons into balls and roll in cocoa powder.
- Chill on a baking sheet lined with wax paper for 1 hour, or until firm.
- Keep in an airtight container, chilled, for up to 2 weeks.
Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate for a rich and decadent flavor. A good semisweet or bittersweet chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 60% is ideal.
- Make sure the cream is cold before whipping it. This will help it whip up quickly and easily.
- Don't overbeat the cream. Once it reaches stiff peaks, stop whipping.
- Chill the truffles for at least 30 minutes before coating them in chocolate. This will help them set and make them easier to handle.
- If you don't have a candy thermometer, you can test the temperature of the chocolate by dropping a small amount into a glass of cold water. If it immediately hardens, the chocolate is ready.
- Work quickly when coating the truffles in chocolate. The chocolate will start to set quickly, so you don't want to take too long.
- If you want to decorate the truffles, do so immediately after coating them in chocolate. The decorations will adhere best to the chocolate while it is still wet.
