Description
Raspberry Snowball Truffles are creamy, fruity no-bake treats made with white chocolate, fresh raspberries, and coated in soft coconut for a festive, snowball-like finish. Perfect for winter holidays, dessert platters, or edible gifts.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups white chocolate chips or chopped white chocolate
- ½ cup fresh or frozen raspberries
- ¼ cup heavy cream
- 1 tbsp unsalted butter (optional)
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups shredded coconut (sweetened or unsweetened), for rolling
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Heat raspberries in a small saucepan over medium heat until broken down. Strain through a fine mesh sieve to remove seeds. Set purée aside.
- In a heatproof bowl, combine white chocolate and heavy cream. Melt gently over a double boiler or in the microwave in short bursts, stirring until smooth.
- Stir in raspberry purée, vanilla extract, salt, and butter (if using) until fully combined.
- Chill the mixture in the fridge for 2–3 hours until firm.
- Scoop out small portions using a spoon or melon baller and roll into balls with your hands.
- Roll each truffle in shredded coconut until fully coated. Place on a parchment-lined tray.
- Chill for an additional 30 minutes to set. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
Notes
- Add a splash of raspberry liqueur for an adult version.
- Roll in powdered sugar instead of coconut for a smoother texture.
- Use freeze-dried raspberry powder for an intense raspberry flavor and smoother texture.
- Dip in melted white chocolate before coating in coconut for a firmer outer shell.
- Tint coconut with food coloring for holiday-themed variations.
