Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups (5 ounces) frozen raspberries
- 1/2 cup coconut oil (room temperature)
Sweeteners and Thickeners:
- 1/4 cup maple syrup (Grade A amber)
- 1 tablespoon tapioca starch
Flavor Enhancers:
- 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Craft a smooth mixture by whisking maple syrup with tapioca starch in a saucepan, then introduce frozen raspberries and heat while stirring until the consistency transforms and thickens.
- Remove from heat and incorporate almond extract, vanilla extract, and coconut oil. Strain the vibrant raspberry mixture through a fine mesh sieve to eliminate seeds, then allow the filling to cool to ambient temperature.
- Transfer the cooled raspberry mixture to a high-powered blender and puree until achieving a silky, uniform texture.
- Create a molten chocolate coating by gently melting chocolate chips and coconut oil in a double boiler, stirring continuously until achieving a glossy, smooth consistency.
- Prepare muffin cups with paper liners and generously coat the interior with melted chocolate, tilting to ensure even coverage along the bottom and sides. Chill in the refrigerator until the chocolate sets completely.
- Carefully dollop raspberry cream filling into each chocolate shell, leaving adequate space for sealing. Cover the filling thoroughly with remaining melted chocolate, ensuring complete encapsulation.
- Optional: Garnish the top with crushed freeze-dried raspberries for added texture and visual appeal. Return chocolates to the refrigerator and allow to set completely, approximately 2-3 hours.
Notes
- Strain the raspberry mixture thoroughly to achieve a silky-smooth filling without any seeds or pulp for a luxurious texture.
- Chill chocolate shells completely before adding filling to prevent mixing and ensure clean, crisp layers in your final chocolates.
- Use high-quality dark or dairy-free chocolate chips for richer flavor and better melting consistency, especially for vegan or dairy-sensitive diets.
- Experiment with alternative extracts like rose water or orange blossom to create unique flavor variations that complement the raspberry’s natural sweetness.
