Instructions

In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and melted white chocolate until smooth and well blended.
Stir in the ground pistachios, vanilla extract, and crushed freeze-dried raspberries until fully incorporated.
Cover the mixture and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to firm up.
Using a small spoon or melon baller, scoop out small portions and roll into 1-inch balls between your palms.
Roll each truffle in additional crushed freeze-dried raspberries to coat evenly.
Place truffles on a parchment-lined tray and refrigerate again for 30 minutes before serving.
Optionally, garnish each truffle with a fresh raspberry on top for extra color and flavor.

Notes

Substitute white chocolate with milk or dark chocolate for a different flavor.

Add a pinch of sea salt on top to enhance sweetness and pistachio flavor.

Roll truffles in chopped pistachios or cocoa powder instead of freeze-dried raspberries for variation.

Use dried raspberries if freeze-dried are unavailable, though tartness will be less pronounced.

Store refrigerated in an airtight container for up to one week; avoid freezing to maintain texture.

Serve chilled or at room temperature for best creamy texture.

For vegan/dairy-free version, use dairy-free cream cheese and vegan white chocolate chips.
