Raspberry Vegan Truffles Recipe

Cooking Directions

• STEP 1.In a food processor, blend together raspberries, coconut cream, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until smooth.
• STEP 2.Transfer the mixture to a bowl and refrigerate for 1-2 hours, or until firm.
• STEP 3.Using a small cookie scoop or spoon, scoop out small portions of the mixture and roll them into balls.
• STEP 4.Place the truffle balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and freeze for 30 minutes.
• STEP 5.Meanwhile, melt the dark chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth.
• STEP 6.Dip each truffle ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated. Use a fork to remove the truffle from the chocolate and let any excess chocolate drip off.
• STEP 7.Place the coated truffles back on the parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for another 30 minutes, or until the chocolate is set.
• STEP 8.Once set, the truffles are ready to be enjoyed. Store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

Cooking Tips

• Make sure to use full-fat coconut cream for a creamy texture.
• If the mixture is too soft to roll into balls, refrigerate it for a bit longer until it firms up.
• For a variation, you can roll the truffles in shredded coconut or cocoa powder instead of dipping them in chocolate.

Storage and Serving

• Store the truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator to keep them fresh.
• Serve the truffles chilled for the best texture and flavor.
• These truffles make a great gift or dessert for parties. Arrange them on a platter and garnish with fresh raspberries for an elegant presentation.
