Amy Guittard's L'Harmonie Raspberry Truffles

"Gary Guittard's daughter Amy helped develop these tasty raspberry truffles in the test kitchen of Guittard - America's oldest family-owned chocolate company. The floral notes of raspberry perfectly enhance the acidity of the dark chocolate." Beth Kimmerle

• 7 ounces (1-1/3 cups) E. Guittard L'Harmonie 64% dark chocolate, chopped
• 1/4 cup heavy cream
• 1 tablespoon seedless raspberry preserves
• 1/2 cup finely sifted unsweetened cocoa powder

METHOD

Combine chocolate, cream, and preserves in a small saucepan over very low heat, stirring constantly until melted and smooth. Chill about 3 hours or until firm enough to handle. Alternatively, chill overnight and let stand at room temperature until soft enough to scoop. Form into one-inch balls using a scoop or two teaspoons. Roll between palms of hands to smooth out balls. Roll truffles in cocoa powder. Refrigerate in airtight container until ready to serve.

Serve at room temperature.
