In the Kitchen with Chris: Chocolate Raspberry Truffles

CHOCOLATE RASPBERRY TRUFFLES
½ cup heavy cream
12 ounces semisweet chocolate chopped fine
½ stick (¼ cup) unsalted butter, cut into bits and softened
½ cup seedless red raspberry jam
2 tablespoons Chambord (black raspberry liqueur), or to taste
½ cup sifted unsweetened cocoa powder for coating the truffles
In a saucepan bring the cream just to a boil over moderate heat and remove the pan from the heat. Add the chocolate, stirring, and stir the mixture until the chocolate is melted completely and the mixture is smooth. Let the mixture cool slightly, add the butter, bit by bit, stirring, and stir the mixture until it is smooth. Stir in the jam, the Chambord, and a pinch of salt, transfer the mixture to a bowl, and chill it, covered, for 4 hours, or until it is firm. Form the mixture by heaping teaspoons into balls and roll the balls in the cocoa powder. Chill the truffles on a baking sheet lined with waxed paper for 1 hour, or until they are firm. The truffles keep in an airtight container, chilled, for 2 weeks. Makes about 40 truffles.

I am not disciplined enough to make something so small simple and delicious... I can refrain from raw cookie dough, cake batter, icing, I would never cut into a cake or a pie for myself.... but this little truffles would kill me... I'd eat them ..... all.
Great recipe. I'll give it to friends :D

Thank you for this video. Does the chocolate have to be tempered when rolling the raspberry ganache?

[@IngaHicks]

Great video!! And now I know how the raspberry gets in the truffle :)

We can dip the truffles in the chocolate and drip the rest then put in Coco pwd

[@pauljohn8130]

Is the coating chocolate tempered?

[@s.l.7982]

Darn, I just noticed that the recipe requires semi chocolate; I used dark chocolate. So I had to add sugar. Not sure it that is why the butter came to the top when finished. Anyway, I am hoping for the best. Thank you for sharing.
