Ingredients:
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 cup heavy cream
8 oz semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup cocoa powder (for rolling)
Directions:
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the fresh raspberries and granulated sugar. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the raspberries break down and the mixture thickens, about 10 minutes. Strain through a fine mesh sieve to remove seeds, and set aside to cool.
In a medium saucepan, heat the heavy cream until it just begins to simmer. Remove from heat and add the chopped chocolate. Let it sit for 2 minutes, then stir until smooth and fully melted.
Stir the raspberry puree and vanilla extract into the chocolate mixture until well combined.
Refrigerate the mixture for about 1-2 hours, or until it is firm enough to scoop.
Using a small cookie scoop or your hands, shape the mixture into small balls and roll them in cocoa powder to coat.
Place the truffles on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and refrigerate again for at least 30 minutes to set.
