Vegan Chocolate Truffles Recipes

Steps:

• Beat cream cheese until smooth. Add confectioners' sugar gradually, beating until well blended. Add melted chocolate and vanilla extract. Chill in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
• Shape the chocolate mixture into 1-inch balls. Roll in cocoa powder, coconut, or almonds. Store in the refrigerator.

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.

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.
