# Ingredients:

β†’ Chocolate

01 - 11 ounces white chocolate chips
02 - 8 ounces dark chocolate chips

β†’ Dairy

03 - ΒΌ cup heavy cream

β†’ Flavoring

04 - 4 tablespoons dried raspberry powder

# Steps:

01 - In a microwave-safe bowl, combine white chocolate chips and heavy cream. Heat in 15-second increments, stirring between intervals until smooth.
02 - Stir the dried raspberry powder into the melted white chocolate until fully integrated.
03 - Refrigerate the chocolate mixture for 10 to 15 minutes until firm but pliable enough to roll.
04 - Use a small cookie scoop to portion filling. Roll each portion between clean hands to form smooth, round balls.
05 - Place dark chocolate chips in a medium bowl and melt in 15-second microwave increments, stirring until just melted.
06 - Dip each truffle into melted dark chocolate using a fork. Roll to coat evenly, allowing excess chocolate to drip off. Scrape fork on bowl edge to remove surplus chocolate before placing truffle on parchment paper.
07 - Refrigerate the coated truffles for 10 minutes to firm the chocolate.
08 - Transfer remaining melted chocolate to a piping bag or Ziplock bag. Drizzle over chilled truffles, then sprinkle with additional raspberry powder.
09 - Return the truffles to the refrigerator for up to 10 minutes before serving.

# Tips:

01 - Do not use fresh raspberries due to excess moisture; use freeze-dried raspberry powder for optimal texture.
02 - Serve truffles chilled for best flavor and firmness.
03 - Appropriate amount of freeze-dried raspberries is 0.88 ounces for this recipe.
