These chocolate raspberry bites are the perfect bite-sized dessert. The juicy raspberries are filled with rich, creamy chocolate ganache and topped off with a minty pop of flavour. So delicious and they're super easy to make, too!
Chocolate raspberry bites are perfect for entertaining since they can be made ahead of time - serve them on a beautiful tray at the end of a dinner party. Everyone will be delighted. They make a special dessert for Valentine's Day as well. I think they would be appreciated at any kind of gathering.

材料
- ラズベリー - Preferably plump and large in size so that they will hold lots of the chocolate filling.
- Semi-sweet chocolate - Ganache is traditionally made using semi-sweet chocolate.
- ヘビークリーム (脂肪分36〜40%の生クリーム)
- Fresh mint - Optional for the leaf garnish. On a bundle of fresh mint, look near the top ends for the smallest leaves. Then pinch off the tip with a few of these tiny leaves attached.

代用
If you're not a big fan of raspberries, you could make this with de-stemmed and hulled strawberries instead.
作り方
Using a serrated knife cut the chocolate into very thin slices. It is important to make the chocolate pieces small enough to melt properly. Set the finely chopped chocolate into a small, heat-safe bowl that is completely dry (chocolate reacts poorly to water) and set aside.
Heat the cream in a small saucepan over medium heat. Watch it constantly. As soon as it begins to gently simmer around the edges it is ready. Be very careful to not overheat as it can become compromised and separate in the pan. Overheating it could also cause damage to the chocolate, under heating it won't melt the chocolate.
Immediately pour the hot cream into the bowl of finely chopped chocolate. Allow it to sit for 3 minutes.
Stir until all of the remaining little bits of chocolate have melted.
You will be left with a smooth and creamy ganache. You want it to cool and thicken before using it to fill the raspberries. Allow it to come to room temperature, stirring occasionally.
ポイント： You can stick it in the fridge to speed up the cooling, however, you will need to stir it more often to ensure that it keeps its smooth consistency.
Rinse the raspberries and mint leaves; pat them dry.
Once the ganache has cooled to room temperature and set, pipe it into each raspberry.
Make sure to add enough so that it pops out of the top a bit.
Finally, add the leaves to the chocolate raspberry bites if you are using them. Poke them into the ganache filling.
お召し上がり方
- Eat them as is! These chocolate raspberry bites are absolutely delicious on their own.
- As a topping: They bake beautiful toppings for chocolate desserts, such as chocolate cake, chocolate tarts, or chocolate ice cream. So yummy and beautiful, too.

Using cake decorating bags will make piping the ganache into the raspberries quick and easy. If you don't have any, you can use a zip-top bag with the tip of the corner cut off.

保存
These can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator. I would recommend using them the same day or the following day, as berries do not tend to stay fresh for long.
美味しく作るコツ
- Even the tiniest drop of water can cause melted chocolate to seize up and be ruined. Use completely dry bowls and utensils when working with melted chocolate.
- Ganache is simply made of two equal parts of chocolate and cream. There are just two important things to keep in mind to be successful. The cream has to be hot enough (without compromising it) and the chocolate has to be cut up small enough.
- I used 4 ounces of chocolate with a ½ cup (118 ml) of cream for this recipe. I do not recommend making a smaller batch than this. You don't want to use too little cream and risk over-cooking it and separating in the pan. Having some delicious ganache leftover is never a bad thing. Drizzle it on ice cream, some fruit, or tomorrow morning's pancakes! These blueberry buttermilk pancakes are my absolute fave.
FAQ
Likely the chocolate pieces were too thick or the cream not hot enough. Do not use a microwave to try to melt it. Instead, you can heat it gently and indirectly in a double boiler or in a glass bowl over a saucepan with a bit of water. Make sure that the water isn't high enough to touch the bottom of either the double boiler or glass bowl.
