Dark Chocolate Raspberry Truffles

Recipe Description

Experience love at first bite with Dark Chocolate Raspberry Truffles that are ridiculously easy to make at home! Rich, flavorful, and decadent, they are perfect for treating your friends, family, and yourself. I always make a couple batches of these chocolate truffles during the holidays for gifting. Because who doesn’t love chocolate? 

Begin by heating the heavy cream on the stove. Next, pour the hot cream over the chopped chocolate and stir together until completely smooth. Then add some raspberry preserves and chill until the chocolate mixture is hard enough to roll into balls. Then just roll into balls, freeze until firm, roll the balls in the cocoa powder, and savor the taste of chocolate goodness. 

To make the Dark Chocolate Raspberry Truffles, you will need the following ingredients:
