Cheesecake Base
- 8 oz full-fat cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Raspberry Puree
- 1 cup fresh or thawed frozen raspberries
Coating and Garnish
- 8 oz white chocolate, melted
- Freeze-dried raspberries, crushed (optional)
- Prepare the Raspberry Puree: Blend fresh or thawed frozen raspberries until smooth. Strain through a fine mesh sieve to remove seeds and achieve a velvety texture, then set aside to cool.
- Mix the Cheesecake Base: In a bowl, combine softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat together with a mixer or whisk until fluffy and smooth, creating a rich, creamy base.
- Fold in Raspberry Puree: Gently fold the chilled raspberry puree into the cream cheese mixture, swirling just enough to create a marbled effect without losing the truffle’s smooth texture.
- Shape the Truffles: Use a small spoon or cookie scoop to portion out the mixture. Roll each portion gently between your palms to form small, round balls. Place them on a parchment-lined tray.
- Chill the Truffles: Refrigerate the shaped truffles for at least one hour to firm up, making dipping in chocolate easier and helping them keep their shape.
- Coat with White Chocolate: Melt white chocolate gently using a microwave or double boiler. Dip each chilled truffle into the melted chocolate to fully coat. Let the excess drip off before placing them back on parchment to set.
- Add Finishing Touches: Sprinkle crushed freeze-dried raspberries or other desired toppings over the wet chocolate coating for extra flavor and decorative appeal. Chill again until the chocolate coating is firm.
Notes
- Soften cream cheese to room temperature before mixing for a lump-free, smooth texture.
- Chill truffles properly before dipping to maintain shape and avoid melting the chocolate coating.
- Use high-quality white chocolate for a better melt and richer taste.
- Adjust powdered sugar based on the sweetness or tartness of your raspberry puree.
- Work quickly when dipping as white chocolate sets fast and can form clumps.
