What You'll Need
Ingredients
  • 4 ounces Culinary Traditions Red Raspberry Puree, thawed
  • 1 ounce Balsamic Vinegar
  • 16 ounces Dark Chocolate Couverture, Chopped
  • 12 ounces Heavy Cream
  • Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
Directions
  1. In a stainless steel pot, bring heavy cream, raspberry puree and Balsamic vinegar to a boil.
  2. Place the chopped couverture in a heat-safe bowl over the pot; stir occasionally as chocolate begins to melt.
  3. Allow cream mixture to boil for a full minute, then pour over the melted couverture.
  4. Allow to rest for about 30 seconds, then whisk until all the chocolate has melted.
  5. Place the bowl in a cooler, stirring every fifteen minutes until it begins to set.
  6. Next, place the bowl in an ice bath to bring the temperature below 41°F for later use.
  7. Pipe or scoop the ganache to create small truffle-sized balls. Let sit overnight.
  8. To finish, roll the truffles in melted dark chocolate and lightly dust with unsweetened cocoa powder or colored white chocolate, as preferred.
