2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons heavy cream
2 tablespoons seedless raspberry jam

Method

Combine all ingredients except cocoa powder in top of double boiler over low heat, stirring constantly until melted and smooth. Chill at least 3 hours or until firm enough to handle.

Form into one-inch balls, using a scoop or teaspoon. Roll in cocoa until coated; refrigerate until ready to serve.
