This is perfect timing! Last weekend I worked on tempering chocolate and filling bonbons. I thought the hard part would be the chocolate work... nope. The chocolate tempered great, the molds all release great, but my fillings were so BAD. I'm looking forward to new recipes!

I made these chocolates for the first time yesterday; the ganache is amazing! I suspect fresh berries would work better than frozen (little juice) but not in season here. I added a tablespoon of freeze-dried raspberry powder for a bit of sharpness. And to save a few pennies, I use (good) store brand chocolate for the ganache and save the premium (Weinrichs) chocolate for the shells.

[@BrittneeKay]

Awesome job! So glad it worked out for you! Yes I love using freeze dried raspberry because it has such a good flavor and punch to it! Nice idea!! 😋

[@candacecross7860]

Everyone loves a good raspberry chocolate! Give them a try! :D

[@christinathompson1630]

I just made a raspberry ganache filling using my homemade and grown dried raspberries, I tried ruby chocolate as I thought the slightly sharp acidic flavour would work well. I used dark 70% chocolate for the shells. I was pleased with the result as I’m very new to making Bon Bons and this was my first original invention. I will try your recipe next time so I can compare the results. Do you have a coffee filling recipe (the stronger the better!) as that’s a favourite flavour of mine. Do you make a cappuccino type filling. I think that would be wonderful.

[@BrittneeKay]

Oh wow homemade and grown dried raspberries! That sounds so delicious!! Yes I love the pairing of ruby with raspberries or strawberries! Yes! I will do a basic coffee ganache and coffee caramel soon. It is one of my favorites! Mmm cappuccino :P Can't wait to put these videos out for you!

The raspberry truffle recipe sounds good. I was wondering if you would use the same recipe using a different fruits (ie mango or cranberries)?

[@BrittneeKay]

Yes! I also use this recipe a lot with orange; for the puree I just use orange juice. You may try experimenting and you can adjust things as you test out new flavors!

I tried you ganach. It worked perfectly. Do you also make ganache with alcohol Like Beylys for example?. Or whisky? I have learned that the bon bons last longer if you put some alcohol in them.

Is it ok to freez it and use as per requirement? How long it can be freezed? You are a great help to us .. its really so simple to understand .. Thanks a lot dear ..

[@BrittneeKay]

You’re so welcome! Yes you can freeze it, but I can’t say exactly how long as I haven’t officially tested it. I would say two weeks to be safe but it could potentially be longer!

[@sharonmaher6208]

Did you use lighter chocolate in the mould first before putting in the filling, and covered the filling also before taking out of the mould. Just love the idea as a present 🎁 for someone.

[@BrittneeKay]

Yes! I molded these ones in milk chocolate 🙂 so shelled and capped after both in milk, just because that’s what most people prefer! A present for someone is a great idea!!

Do you have a good ganache recipe for runny centers? I could use pointers on pre-capping (cocoa butter) before chocolate capping.

[@BrittneeKay]

I haven’t messed too much with really runny centers yet but will be doing some later this year for sure!

[@tinkeroonie]

I made this ganache today with your recipe! Yay! All I was able to get done was some colored cocoa butter designs painted into the mold, and the ganache made. I put all the ganache in a 16" piping bag, let it cool a bit on the counter, and put it in the fridge. What's the best way to warm this up to 28C?

[@BrittneeKay]

Oh awesome! It's best to use fresh, but just for practice if you want to rewarm it and it's already in the bag I would first let it come to room temperature and if it isn't fluid quite yet gently warm it in the microwave on a really low power like 3 and move the ganache around in the bag to keep things warming evenly. This is ok for practice, but for anything beyond I would recommend using it fresh! Hope this helps!

[@tinkeroonie]

It worked out pretty good rewarming it, but I'm sure it would be even better same day. But not too bad for my very first bonbons! Next up: the Almond Joy-like ones. More like mounds, as I'm not using nuts.

[@BrittneeKay]

@@tinkeroonie Yeah perfect! That's great! Oh love it, have fun!

[@wesback2840]

Hi. Great video. How long do we have to wait close the shells after pouring the filling?

[@BrittneeKay]

Thanks! If you have the time let them sit overnight to settle and let any air bubbles rise to the top and then cap. Not 100% necessary but is good practice for long shelf life!

[@strawberrymins]

I would love something with pistachios or how you would introduce flower essence to the party 😊 I want to try this recipe with pomegranate! Since I’m a vegan I would have to leave out the egg, would that be okay? Beautiful chocolates!!

[@BrittneeKay]

Mmm I sometimes forget about pistachios lol I need to look into that! Also, I hope to do a light rose flavor around Valentines day! Since you're vegan I would find a different recipe rather than this kind, because the egg is part of the formulation. But you can definitely find a good vegan ganache base recipe to add some pomegranate too by searching online I'm sure. I will also need to do some more research into vegan fillings!

[@strawberrymins]

@@BrittneeKay ahhhhh thank you for letting me know! I will probably tinker around in the kitchen and see what I come up with! I was thinking of adding it to coconut condensed milk but I’m not sure if those flavours would work, one way to find out 🤷🏾‍♀️ I would love to see some vegan fillings, I’m tired of the usual coconut and nuts 😭 I love coconut and nuts but it’s the only flavour that I can find! Looking forward to those valentines chocolates, I could use some inspiration 😊

[@sharonmaher6208]

Hi Brittany, just thanking you for your reply also I think as flavours in truffles what about orange, lemon curd, and coffee would love to have a mix of all kinds.. thanks love your tutorials you explain everything so well u have such a calming and soothing voice, just with the tempering with the microwave method does the chocolate have to reach a certain temperature then cool it down and then bring up the temp again, just a bit confused.thanks for everything you do in helping your Irish fan. One more final question did u let the truffle set before you topped with chocolate just wondering. 😊😊

[@BrittneeKay]

Hi thank you for your comment and suggestions! 💙 Ok so to clarify on the microwave method, it is a quick method and not the most exact method so no thermometer is required and you don't need to worry about temperatures. With that being said, that is why it is not always reliable. But it can be with practice as you become familiar with how much to melt it. Basically it should work pretty well if you melt half of the chocolate and stir it a lot. I usually only use that method in a hurry or for a project that isn't super important...just in case I run into problems. My go to method is seeding. And yes, I let the raspberry set up before capping! :)

I bought the Callebaut white & dark chocolates, same as you’re using, and I’m using the same hearts mold you use from chocolate world. I haven’t found any amounts for the shells & caps, only the fillings. Is it something you just eyeball? Thanks in advance.

[@bobberlow3987]

In one of your helpful videos you color lemon extract w/ gold powder to paint the mold then make the shell w/ tempered chocolate. Question: why lemon extract instead of cocoa butter and can you add another color also using lemon extract and/or add the second color w/ cocoa butter? Thanks in advance.

[@BrittneeKay]

It kind of depends on the design…sometimes you want extract and other times cocoa butter. If you decorate the mold first with extract luster once it dries you have to know that it will move if touched. If you want your design to stay put you want to use cocoa butter. If it doesn’t matter, extract luster is nice because it is cheaper than cocoa butter. Also, cocoa butter will be shiny and luster won’t necessarily. Sorry, long winded but there are many scenarios 😄😄🙂☺️

Yeah! If you have leftover you can fill a cake with it, put it on top of brownies, freeze it, or store it in the fridge. I'm not exactly sure how long in the fridge, I'd guess about a week or a bit more. Freezer probably no more than a month. But keep in mind these are just guesses. Oh with this one you can also roll it into truffle balls and dust with cocoa powder to eat!

[@brendaso1142]

Thank you for the video. When I make chocolate ganache I have never put egg yolks. why did you add this?

[@BrittneeKay]

This is just a different type of ganache and a recipe I've been using for years. I don't have the book on me, but you can read about ganaches containing egg yolks in "Chocolates and Confections", it's a great book! But the yolks add texture and rich flavor.

[@essenceoflife5295]

Hi .. Can we use any other fruit instead of berries ? I am interested in kiwi.. is it ok to use it ?

[@BrittneeKay]

I do it with orange also! I haven’t tried kiwi, the acidity balance could be off but you should give it a try!

[@beaulavani2649]

Hai thank you for yourwonderfull vedio What's the shelf life of the filling

[@BrittneeKay]

You’re welcome! I can’t say unless it’s official tested but I think you’d be safe for two weeks with this filling!

[@juliemeyer1968]

This is the first ganache recipe that I have seen with egg yolks. What do the yolks do in this case? Balance the acidity of the fruit?

[@BrittneeKay]

Yeah, it isn't the most common type of ganache but it can be fun to use sometimes. Egg ganache is just another kind and the egg adds texture, flavor, and is a natural emulsifier : ) For this one, it wasn't particularly related to acidity of the raspberries. I also use this exact same recipe for orange and just replace the puree with orange juice and it's also great!

[@vickyshe8065]

So if I'd want to make a vegan version of this, what would be my sub for cream?

[@BrittneeKay]

I don't currently have a vegan recipe for raspberry ganache, sorry. You would want to use a whole different recipe because this one also has eggs.

[@ArianaAlfie-jt4hp]

How long does this filling last in the refrigerator, especially if I'm not using it all at once?

[@BrittneeKay]

I can’t say officially because it hasn’t been tested, but I’d say your safe for about two weeks.

[@mrwehethefourth]

What is of your 28deg filling temp based off of? Is this universal for most fillings? Still learning here hah

[@BrittneeKay]

Yep, pretty universal because 28 C will usually be fluid enough for any filling to be pipeable along with not too warm to melt any type of chocolate your bonbons are shelled in! :)

Does acid-type fruit ganache need to be made with egg? Would a raspberry filling break the chocolate shell without any cream or custard?

[@BrittneeKay]

No :) This is just an egg ganache variation, you can also make a raspberry ganache in a more basic recipe, too. I'm not sure I understand your questions about breaking the chocolate shell without cream or custard? A ganache is a great filling for bonbons and won't cause the shell to break at all!

You'll want to use a completely different recipe formulation : ) If you want something really simple just do around 16 oz chocolate, 12 oz heavy cream, and add raspberry extract into the heavy cream before mixing. That is very basic, has a short shelf life, but it'll get you a nice raspberry ganache if you want to practice filling and eat some chocolates fresh!
