Description
Delicious and indulgent raspberry cheesecake truffles coated in a rich chocolate shell.
Ingredients
Scale
- 227 g cream cheese, softened
- 60 g powdered sugar
- 180 ml whipped topping (such as Cool Whip)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 110 g fresh raspberries, washed and well dried
- 75 g graham cracker crumbs
- 425 g semi-sweet baking chocolate, coarsely chopped
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to blend the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until the mixture is light and fluffy. Gently incorporate the raspberries into the cream cheese mixture.
- Add the whipped topping and fold it in using a spatula. Stir in graham cracker crumbs and mix until fully combined.
- Place the filling in the freezer for 2 hours to firm up.
- Line a tray with parchment paper. Using a tablespoon or small scoop, portion the chilled mixture and roll each into a ball. If the mixture is too soft, return it to the freezer until manageable.
- Arrange the balls on the prepared tray and freeze until completely solid, approximately 2 additional hours.
- Melt the chopped semi-sweet chocolate, then let it cool for 5 minutes to avoid melting the truffles during dipping.
- Working in small batches, remove a few frozen truffles from the freezer at a time. Dip each truffle into the melted chocolate using a fork or spoon and ensure complete coverage. Place dipped truffles back on the parchment-lined tray. If necessary, patch uncovered spots with extra melted chocolate.
- Transfer any remaining melted chocolate into a small piping or zip lock bag, snip the corner, and drizzle over truffles for decoration.
- Store the truffles in the freezer or refrigerator. Allow to sit at room temperature briefly before serving, as they soften quickly.
Notes
- For best results, use fresh raspberries.
- Truffles can be stored for up to two weeks in the refrigerator.
- Make sure to prevent chocolate from overheating to avoid a burnt taste.
