ingredients:
Raspberry Puree:
12 oz unsweetened frozen raspberries
1/3 cup plus 2 tbsp sugar

Chocolate Truffles:
1- 10 oz bag Enjoy Life Semi-Sweet Chocolate Mini Chips

1/2 cup raspberry puree
1 tbsp butter*
1 tbsp shortening

Chocolate Coating:
1- 10 oz bag Enjoy Life Semi-Sweet Chocolate Mini Chips
2 tsp shortening
Cocoa powder (optional)

directions:

Bring raspberries and sugar to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat and simmer 5 minutes. Place cooked mixture into a blender and blend one minute. Strain to remove seeds.

Mix the raspberry puree, 1 tbsp butter and 1 tbsp shortening in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Bring to boil. Remove from heat. Add 1 (10 oz) bag Enjoy Life chocolate mini chips and stir until smooth.

Put truffle mixture in a bowl and cool to room temperature. Cover the mixture with plastic wrap and chill in refrigerator for 4 hours or overnight.

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a tablespoon or melon baller, scoop the mixture into balls and place on baking sheet. If needed, chill in refrigerator to refirm.

To make the chocolate coating, combine 1 (10 oz) bag Enjoy Life chocolate mini chips and shortening in a microwaveable container. Cook 30 seconds, stir. Continue until all the chocolate is melted and smooth.

Using a fork, dip the truffles (one at a time) into the melted chocolate, tapping the fork on the edge of the bowl to remove excess. Place on parchment lined sheet and allow to harden. Once hardened, indulge and enjoy.**

*TIP Dairy-free option: use 1 tbsp EarthBalance margarine (contains soy) or Spectrum shortening in place of butter.

**TIP Add an extra special touch by rolling your truffles in cocoa powder. Sift a thick layer of cocoa powder in a shallow dish and roll truffles until coated.

  1. This is great! I use Fleischman’s Unsalted margerine, itt is dairy free, and only contains soy!

  2. Earth balance has a soy & dairy free butter now. Its in a red container. (no sticks yet) (it does have corn in it)
