Raw Rich Chocolate Truffles
Ingredients
- for the chocolate truffle filling ?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- 3-4 small ripe avocados⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- 1/4 tsp sea salt (will enhance the flavours of the cacao)⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- 2 tbsp unsweetened almond milk (homemade is best)⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- 4 tbsp pure maple or rice maltsyrup ⠀
- 1/2 cup raw cacao powder ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- for the chocolate coating ?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- 1 cup coconut oil (in a liquid consistency)⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- 1/2 cup raw cacao powder⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- 1/2 cup pure maple or rice malt syrup ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Preparation
Blend/process all chocolate filling ingredients together in a high speed blender or food processor (I find a food processor works better for this recipe)⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Using your hands, form the mixture into small balls (roughly 1 tbsp in size) & place on a cookie sheet lined with baking paper ⠀⠀
Transfer to the freezer until firm⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
While waiting for the balls to firm, commence making the chocolate coating by whisking all the coating ingredients in a separate bowl until a smooth consistency has been reached⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Once the truffles have hardened, remove from the freezer and dip each one into the chocolate coating, placing them back on the cookie sheet once coated – if you have any coating leftover this is a time when you can double dip!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Return to the freezer until the coating has also firmed (about 2 hours)⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Enjoy straight from the fridge/freezer⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
