Ingredients
– 8 oz. full-fat brick style cream cheese, softened to room temperature
– 1/2 cup powdered sugar
– 3/4 cup stabilized frozen whipped cream (thawed), or whipped heavy cream beaten to stiff peaks and sweetened with a little powdered sugar
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 3/4 cup fresh raspberries, washed and thoroughly dried
– 3/4 cup graham cracker crumbs
– 15 oz semi-sweet or dark baking chocolate, coarsely chopped (baking or candy coating chocolate can be used)
Instructions
1-Beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until light and fluffy, then gently fold in the fresh raspberries.
2-Stir in the whipped cream using a spatula until just combined.
3-Add the graham cracker crumbs and stir until incorporated, then freeze the mixture for about 2 hours until itβs firm enough to handle.
4-Line a tray with parchment paper and use a tablespoon or small scoop to drop portions of the cheesecake mixture onto the paper; shape them into round balls by hand, chilling briefly if the mixture is too sticky.
5-Freeze the shaped truffles until completely frozen, about a couple of hours.
6-Melt the chocolate and let it cool slightly for 5 minutes to avoid melting the truffles too quickly during dipping.
7-Remove 4-5 truffles from the freezer at a time, quickly dip each one into the melted chocolate to fully coat, and use a spoon to add more if needed.
8-Place the coated truffles back on the parchment paper; once done, put any leftover chocolate in a plastic bag, snip a corner, and drizzle it over the truffles.
9-Store the finished truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for several days or freeze for longer storage; remove from the fridge just before serving as they soften quickly.
Notes
π Use full-fat cream cheese at room temperature for best texture.
π Select fresh, firm raspberries to avoid excess moisture.
βοΈ Chill the mixture and work in small batches during chocolate dipping to keep truffles firm and prevent melting.
