Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (175 g) semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) heavy cream

- Pinch of sea salt
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder, for rolling
- Optional coatings: crushed freeze-dried raspberries, powdered sugar, or shredded coconut
Instructions
- Blend freeze-dried raspberries into a fine powder and set aside.
- Heat heavy cream in a small saucepan until just beginning to simmer.
- Pour hot cream over chocolate chips in a bowl. Let sit 2 minutes, then stir until smooth.
- Stir in raspberry powder, vanilla extract, and sea salt until fully combined.
