Vegan chocolate truffles

16th June 2019 by letseatsmart 2 Comments

Hi guys! I’m just gonna put it out there… prepare to lose ALL self-control and stuff an entire bowl of truffles into your face. What I’m about to give you is the best vegan truffle recipe EVER.

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Yesterday I attended a truffle making demonstration by the amazing Michelin starred chef, Ori Hellerstein. It was so good! In fact, it was so inspiring I just HAD TO make my own vegan version as soon as I got home. So I did!

This recipe is an adaptation of the one that the lovely Ori presented to us during the event. The cream (I used soya) and milk is first infused with… chocolate cereal! During his demonstration, Ori used Coco Pops to infuse his to give them that sweet, chocolate-y flavour. I didn’t have Coco Pops so I used Nesquik but I suspect this would work with any chocolate flavoured cereal. Once the cream absorbs all the flavours from the cereal, it is strained through a sieve. Good quality chocolate is then added to the already super chocolate-y cream and milk mixture. At this point you will want to eat the mixture out of the bowl with a spoon (I may have had a few cheeky spoonfuls) but please, please at least try to cover it with some cling film and refrigerate overnight. If the mixture makes it through the night, then you’re in for a real treat.

These truffles are super simple! Requiring simple methods, only 5 ingredients and no fancy equipment!

Best thing about this recipe? Super flexible.

This is just a basic chocolate truffle recipe but if you want something a bit more special just experiment with a few different flavours! Why not add a few drops of orange or rose extract into the mixture or even some ground roasted hazelnuts for some extra crunch. As far as coatings, the options are endless. You can roll them in cocoa powder, desiccated coconut, powdered milk, cocoa nibs, crushed nuts or cereal. Or if you’re a chocoholic, dip them in more chocolate! Either way, this recipe is super versatile and these would make the perfect dessert to snack on or to take along to parties.

AD | Chewy, gooey, caramelised biscuit cookies 🍪  With crunchy caramelised biscuit wafer pieces from @loveraw  Makes 8
Ingredients
* 120 g golden caster sugar
* 50 g dark chocolate chunks
* 2 @loveraw caramelised biscuit wafer bars
* 1/8 tsp salt
* 200 g plain flour
* 1/2 tsp baking soda
* 60 g butter, melted

* 70 g golden syrup
* 3 tbsp water
Instructions
* Preheat the oven to 180C | gas mark 4. Line a baking sheet with baking paper and set aside.

* In a large bowl, combine the golden caster sugar, chocolate chunks and salt. Sieve in the flour and soda.

* In a separate bowl, combine the biscuit spread, butter and golden syrup. Once combined, add it to the flour mixture. Mix using a wooden spoon and bring the dough together using your hands.

* Divide the dough into 8 golf sized balls, flatten slightly and place on the baking tray. Roughly chop the wafer bars and gently push in a couple of pieces into each cookie. 

* Bake in the middle of the oven for 8-10 minutes. The edges of the cookies should feel firm but the centre will be still quite soft.
