Total Time: 20 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 16 truffles
Ingredients
- 1 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup raspberries, pureed
- 1/4 cup powdered erythritol
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (for coating)
Instructions
- Ensure cream cheese is completely softened at room temperature to achieve a smooth, creamy texture. Use a hand mixer or stand mixer to beat the cream cheese until it becomes light and fluffy.
- Prepare fresh raspberries by pureeing them in a blender or food processor. Strain the puree through a fine-mesh sieve to remove seeds, ensuring a smooth raspberry mixture.
- Add pureed raspberries, powdered erythritol, and lemon juice to the cream cheese. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined and the mixture is uniform in color and consistency.
- Cover the mixture and refrigerate for 15-20 minutes to allow it to firm up slightly, making it easier to handle and shape into truffles.
- Using clean hands or a small cookie scoop, portion out the mixture and roll into small, uniform balls approximately 1-inch in diameter. Place the formed truffles on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Spread unsweetened cocoa powder on a separate plate. Gently roll each truffle in the cocoa powder, ensuring complete and even coating.
- Place the coated truffles back on the parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to set and develop a firmer texture.
- Store truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Allow to sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before serving for optimal texture.
Tips
- Temperature is Key: Ensure your cream cheese is perfectly softened at room temperature to guarantee a smooth, lump-free mixture.
- Seed Removal Matters: When pureeing raspberries, always strain through a fine-mesh sieve to eliminate seeds and achieve a silky-smooth texture.
- Chilling is Crucial: Don't skip the refrigeration steps - they help the truffles firm up and make them easier to handle and shape.
- Uniform Size: Use a small cookie scoop or weigh each truffle for consistent sizing and even coating.
- Coating Technique: Roll truffles gently in cocoa powder, ensuring an even, light coating that doesn't clump.
- Make-Ahead Friendly: These truffles can be prepared in advance and stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, making them perfect for meal prep or unexpected guests.
