With my mom coming to stay with me for the holidays I knew this would be the perfect dessert to make for her. She’s always been a semi-sweet chocolate lover. I remember growing up she was the only one in the family that wanted the dark chocolates from the boxes of mixed chocolates.
These brownies were certainly a good choice, she simply loved them! In her own words, she thought they were “just fabulous.” Surprisingly, I completely loved them and I’m a milk chocolate lover. I was up late Christmas Eve prepping for the following day and I found myself at 2 a.m. continuously heading back for more, cutting little piece after little piece in the middle of the night (side note – to all of you out there that plan ahead and do your Christmas shopping and have it ready a month before, please teach me the secrets of your success =). Yes, these are incredibly rich but in such a delicious way. I never knew I could love such a richly chocolaty brownie so much because I’ve always been into more of a milk chocolate brownie.
The brownie’s texture is perfectly soft, the truffle filling, which is a luscious and velvety smooth frosting, melts in your mouth and the fresh raspberry finish and light sprinkling of cocoa powder just puts these over the top. Raspberry Truffle Brownies would be a perfect dessert to prepare for a Valentine’s Day treat or just to treat yourself (because in my book, life needs indulging once in a while). The directions may appear to be long and tedious but these are easy to prepare, you don’t even have to chop chocolate bars as the recipe calls for chocolate chips. I adapted this recipe from The Curvy Carrot, she got me with her photo and recipe title. Truffle…chocolate…raspberry…brownie. How could they not be good? I’m in! It’s a combination you won’t want to miss out on. Enjoy!
