Yield Makes about 50

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/4 cup heavy cream
7 oz fine-quality bittersweet chocolate (not extra-bitter or unsweetened), finely chopped in a food processor
1 1/2 tablespoons framboise (raspberry eau-de-vie) or brandy
6 oz fresh raspberries (1 cup)
3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
Special Equipment
a large sealable plastic bag

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.

I'm allergic to raspberries. Is there anything I can substitute them with?

These truffles are way too expensive to make. I can buy them for a fraction of the cost at the store.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my truffles didn't turn out as good as the ones in the picture.

These truffles are a little too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try using less sugar next time.

I had some trouble getting the chocolate to coat the truffles evenly. I think I needed to melt the chocolate a little more.

These truffles are a bit time-consuming to make, but they're definitely worth the effort.
