Ingredients

• 8 oz (225g) dark chocolate (70% cocoa), finely chopped
• 8 oz (225g) milk chocolate, finely chopped
• 8 oz (225g) white chocolate, finely chopped
• 1/2 cup (120ml) heavy cream
• 2 tbsp (30g) unsalted butter, softened
• 1/4 cup (60ml) caramel sauce
• 1/4 cup (60g) raspberry jam
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/4 cup (30g) freeze-dried raspberries, crushed
• Cocoa powder, for dusting
• Gold leaf or edible glitter (optional)

Instructions

1. For dark chocolate truffles: Heat 1/4 cup cream until simmering. Pour over 4 oz dark chocolate, let sit 2 minutes, then stir until smooth. Add 1 tbsp butter and vanilla, mix. Chill until firm, about 30 minutes. Roll into 8 balls, dust with cocoa.
2. For milk chocolate caramel: Heat remaining 1/4 cup cream until simmering. Pour over 4 oz milk chocolate, stir until smooth. Add caramel sauce and 1 tbsp butter, mix. Chill until firm, then roll into 8 balls.
3. For white chocolate raspberry: Melt 4 oz white chocolate in a double boiler. Stir in raspberry jam and crushed freeze-dried raspberries. Chill until firm, then roll into 8 balls.
4. Temper remaining dark, milk, and white chocolates separately. For each: melt 2/3 of chocolate to 115°F (46°C) for dark, 110°F (43°C) for milk/white. Remove from heat, add remaining chocolate, stir until melted and cooled to 88°F (31°C) for dark, 84°F (29°C) for milk/white.
5. Dip each truffle ball into its corresponding tempered chocolate using a fork, tap off excess, and place on parchment paper. Decorate with gold leaf or edible glitter if desired.
6. Let set completely at room temperature, about 30 minutes. Arrange in gift boxes.
