This little sweet bite was inspired by Valentine's Day. It's now past that heart shaped day, I know, but there it is, the inspiration for this sweet treat was that of love and delectable devotion and the divine chocolate bonbons that go with all that.
The idea first began from a desire to have a chocolate filled tang yuan rice dumpling. OMG, can you imagine, sooo good! And then with that idea came the desire to surround the yummy oozing chocolate filling with something more fancy, more in tune with the rich decadence of cocoa than just plain ol’ tang yuan dough.
After much thought I decided that the luscious rosy tartness of raspberry was up to the challenge. I infused pure raspberry flavor into the tender chewy rice dough that surrounds the tang yuan filling. Wowzer!
Raspberry and chocolate, double wowzer! Our Chocolate Filled Raspberry Flavored Tang Yuan 覆盆子巧克力湯圓 is not your ordinary tang yuan; it's a fancy 'bonbon' kinda tang yuan with an oozing rich chocolate heart wrapped tenderly in a fragrant raspberry pink infused dough. It's out of this world fancy and delicious!
