VEGAN CHOCOLATE TRUFFLES

Steps:

• Prepare the chocolate ganache. Add the chocolate to a mixing bowl.
• Heat the coconut cream to a simmer (you can do this either on a stove top or in the microwave, just be very careful if doing it in the microwave not to overheat and boil it over).
• Pour the simmering coconut cream over the chocolate pieces in the mixing bowl. Leave to sit for around a minute to melt, then mix it into a chocolate sauce.
• Place into the fridge to set. This will take a few hours (2-3 hours, you'll know it's set when you stick a knife into it and it's solid all the way down).
• When set, use an ice cream scoop or a spoon to scoop out even amounts of the ganache and drop it into the cocoa powder, then use your hands to roll it into a ball. The cocoa powder will stop it from sticking to your hands. Place the balls onto a parchment lined baking tray.
• When all the balls are rolled, place into the freezer to harden.
• Prepare the chocolate coating. When the balls are nice and hard, add the chocolate to a microwave safe bowl and microwave in 30-second intervals bringing out to stir every 30-seconds until completely smooth and melted. Add in your coconut oil and stir in.
• Drop the balls into the chocolate one by one and use two teaspoons to manoeuvre the balls in the chocolate and back onto the parchment lined baking tray. Decorate with chocolate shavings.
• Return to the fridge for the chocolate to set and enjoy!

VEGAN CHOCOLATE TRUFFLES

Steps:

• Put the chocolate in a medium heatproof bowl. Tip the milk, sugar and vanilla into a small saucepan, then bring to the boil over a medium heat, stirring occasionally.
• Pour the hot milk mixture over the chocolate, leave to sit for 1 min, then stir until the chocolate has melted and the mix is smooth. Cover and chill for 4 hrs until set.
• Roll teaspoons of the mixture into balls using your hands, then transfer to a small baking tray or plate - you may like to wear gloves. You should have about 20 balls.
• Put the cocoa powder on a shallow plate, and roll the chilled truffles in it until well-coated, tapping off any excess, if needed. Chill until you're ready to gift. Will keep in the fridge for up to four days.

3-INGREDIENT VEGAN CHOCOLATE TRUFFLES

Steps:

• First, make the chocolate ganache. Place 12 ounces of vegan chocolate chips in a medium bowl and set aside.
• In a small saucepan heat the coconut milk to a scald (just before boiling point). A skin will form over the top and the sides will begin to simmer. Remove hot cream and pour immediately over the chocolate chips. Cover for 3 minutes. Remove lid and stir together with a spatula until the chocolate and cream come together to create a homogeneous thick sauce. Do not over mix! Cover and allow the ganache to set up at least six hours or overnight.
• When the ganache is hard, roll mounded teaspoon size balls and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Freeze for at least 2 hours.
• In a double boiler, gently melt the chocolate and coconut oil until smooth. Insert a toothpick into a frozen truffle and dip into the chocolate. Allow excess chocolate to drip off before placing truffle back on parchment-covered baking sheet to harden. Repeat until all the truffles are dipped.
• Let cool at room temperature until the outside chocolate is completely set. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 7 days.

VEGAN TRUFFLES

Steps:

• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a medium bowl, combine the cashew cream and chocolate chips. Place the bowl over a pan of barely simmering hot water. Stir occasionally until the chocolate has melted and the mixture is smooth, about 2 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and whisk in the agave syrup, vanilla and orange zest. Refrigerate the mixture until firm, about 1 hour.
• With a small ice cream scoop or a tablespoon-size round measuring spoon, spoon out the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. With damp hands, roll the mixture into balls and return to the baking sheet. Refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour. Roll the truffles in your desired toppings and serve.
• In a small bowl, combine the water and cashews. Let soak for at least 2 hours or overnight at room temperature.
• In a blender, blend the cashews and water at high speed until creamy and smooth, about 1 minute.
