What you need to make Pistachio Truffles

The full list of ingredients and measurements can be found in the recipe card below.

• Pistachio butter provides a rich pistachio flavor, a smooth texture, and a beautiful green color to the filling.
• Cashew butter adds extra creaminess and richness to the truffle filling.
• Coconut milk powder. You can either use coconut milk powder or any protein of your choice.
• Cacao butter helps the filling set and gives the perfect texture.
• Maple syrup. A natural sweetener that provides a subtle sweetness to the truffle filling without adding refined sugar.
• Chopped pistachios add a delightful crunch that complements the creamy texture of the truffle filling.
• Freeze-dried raspberries. The combination of raspberry and pistachios are perfect. So raspberry is an important ingredient, I don’t recommend substituting it. Instead of freeze-dried raspberries, you can add dried raspberries, but their texture is quite different, they are chewier.
• A pinch of salt enhances and balances out the sweetness and flavors of the truffle filling.
• Dark chocolate for coating the truffles.

How to coat truffles in chocolate

Coating the truffles in chocolate can be a bit tricky, but with some tips and tricks, you can achieve a perfect and smooth coating.

• Melt the chocolate: Chop the chocolate into small pieces and place them in a heatproof bowl. Melt the chocolate using a double boiler or a microwave. To make your own double boiler, you will need a pot and a heatproof bowl. The bowl should be able to fit in the pot without reaching the bottom. Pour some water into the pot, place over medium heat, and bring to a gentle simmer. Then place the bowl with chocolate or cacao butter into the pan. Constantly stirring with a spatula, let the mass melt and become smooth and glossy. Remove the bowl from the pan.
• Prep your workspace: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Make sure the surface is flat and clean.
• Dip the truffles: Take one truffle at a time and dip it into the melted chocolate using a fork. Gently tap the fork on the side of the bowl to remove any excess chocolate. Place the truffles on the prepared baking sheet, and repeat the process with the remaining truffles, leaving enough space between them so they don’t touch each other.
• Decorate: Decorate the truffles with freeze-dried raspberries or chopped pistachios immediately after coating while the chocolate has not been set yet. Sprinkle the toppings on top of the truffles using your fingers.
• Let the chocolate set. Allow the chocolate to set at room temperature. If the room temperature is too warm, you can also place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about 10-15 minutes until the chocolate is set and firm.

By following these steps, you’ll have perfectly coated truffles that look and taste amazing!

Storage instructions

Store the truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Alternatively, you can store them in the freezer for up to 3 months. If freezing, place them in a single layer in an airtight container, separated by parchment paper or plastic wrap to prevent them from sticking together. Thaw them in the fridge. The texture of the truffles can change slightly after freezing and thawing, but the taste will still be delicious.
