Super easy? Dear sir, I counted like 29 steps. I don't want anything difficult! Just picking the rasberry seeds out with tweezers took me most of the day.

thanks ever so much, sounds just what i am looking for - will let you kow how they turn out!

Hi Jenster - This is one of my recipes for white chocolate truffles. They are totally gorgeous and super easy to make.

400g Top quality White chocolate - Valrhona or Lindt
175g Double cream
1 punnet of Raspberies

Chop the chocolate into evenly small pieces and place into a glass bowl
Place over a pan of very hot water making sure the bowl does not touch the bowl
Allow the chocolate to melt and stir until smooth.
Bring the cream to scortching point (just befor it boils)
Pour into the melted chocolate and whisk well until glossy and smooth.
Place aside to cool to room temperature.
Take the raspberries and with a wooden spoon push through a sieve to remove the seeds. A thick raspberry pulp will be left. Discard the seeds.
mix the raspberry pulp into the chocolate mix and chill thoroughly over night.
Take teaspoons of the mixture and roll into even balls. Place in the fridge for 5 minutes. Use a little icing sugar if your fingers get sticky.
Handle the chocolate as little as possible as they will become soft and melt.
To coat the truffles in chocolate place more white chocolate in a bowl over hot water and melt two thirds of the chocolate.
Once melted remove from the heat and add the remaining third of chocolate and mix until smooth and at body temperature.
Dip your fingers in the chocolate and roll the truffles between your fingers to coat. 2 thin coats are better than one thick coat.
They can be placed on parchment paper to harden with just chocolate or dipped in chopped toasted nuts, Coconut, Cocoa Powder.

I hope this helps. Let me know if you have any problems.

Have fun
