Indulge in the rich and elegant Velvet Chocolate Raspberry Petals, a delicate dessert combining silky bittersweet chocolate ganache with fresh raspberries, shaped into charming petals for a perfect bite-sized treat.

Ingredients

Chocolate Ganache

  • 8 oz bittersweet chocolate (60% cocoa), chopped
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar

Garnish

  • 1 cup fresh raspberries

Instructions

  1. Melt chocolate. Place the chopped bittersweet chocolate in a heatproof bowl over simmering water (double boiler) and stir gently until completely smooth and melted.
  2. Make ganache. Remove the bowl from heat, then stir in the heavy cream and unsalted butter until fully combined and glossy, forming a smooth ganache base.
  3. Add sugar. Gradually sift in the powdered sugar, mixing thoroughly to incorporate and adjust sweetness to your preference for a silky texture.
  4. Form petals. Using a spoon, drop generous spoonfuls of ganache onto parchment paper and use a spatula to spread and shape each into delicate petal forms.
  5. Add raspberries. While the ganache petals are still warm and pliable, gently press fresh raspberries into the center of each, ensuring they adhere nicely.
  6. Chill. Place the raspberry-adorned petals in the refrigerator for about an hour to set completely and firm up.
  7. Serve. Once set, serve the petals chilled, optionally drizzling with extra warmed ganache for an added luxurious finish.

Notes

  • Use good quality bittersweet chocolate (60% cocoa) for the best flavor.
  • Ensure raspberries are fresh and dry before placing to prevent sogginess.
  • Can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • For a smoother ganache, warm cream and butter before mixing in.
  • These petals make elegant finger desserts for parties and special occasions.
