    Vegan Chocolate Truffles that are Too Easy and Decadent to Resist

    0
    By Alisa Fleming on May 11, 2019 Dairy Free Desserts, Dairy-Free Recipes

    These vegan chocolate truffles suit almost any occasion and take mere minutes to make. Whip them up for Valentine’s Day, Easter, Mother’s Day, Christmas, or just because. But a word of warning, especially if making them with kids: the rolling process can get messy!

    Vegan Chocolate Truffles that are Too Easy and Decadent to Resist

    There aren’t many ingredients in this recipe, but I still like to provide some helpful tips:

    Cream Cheese Alternative – This recipe uses dairy-free cream cheese to add a rich, creamy finish. I like Daiya brand for recipes like this one. It isn’t the best option for bagels (IMO), but it works very well in desserts. It’s also top allergen-free, so it suits most dietary needs. But I’ve been told this recipe also works very well with Tofutti cream cheese alternative. I’m betting other brands would work pretty well too.

    Powdered Sugar – I don’t recommend substituting any other type of sweetener, unless you have a powdered sugar alternative specifically. Liquid sweeteners will make the truffles too soft, and granulated sweeteners will leave them grainy.

    Eat Dairy Free - Your Essential Cookbook for Everyday Meals, Snacks, and SweetsDairy-Free Chocolate – Make sure you pick a chocolate that you like since the chocolate flavor will be front and center. I like to use dairy-free chocolate chips for ease in melting, but chocolate bars can be broken and melted, too. Since you are adding quite a bit of sugar, you can use bittersweet chocolate, or even unsweetened, if you want a less sweet finish.

    Vanilla Extract – You can substitute another extract flavor to mix things up. If you want to make multiple flavors, divide the truffle batter into three equal parts and add 1/2 teaspoon of extract to each part.

    Ingredients
    • 1 (8-ounce) package dairy-free cream cheese alternative, softened at room temperature
    • 3 cups powdered sugar
    • 12 ounces dairy-free chocolate, melted (semi-sweet or bittersweet)
    • 1½ teaspoons vanilla extract

    Instructions
    1. Put the cream cheese in a large mixing bowl and beat it with a hand mixer until smooth and creamy.

    3. Add the melted chocolate and vanilla, and stir to combine.
    4. Refrigerate the mixture for 1 hour.

    6. Store the vegan truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
    Notes
    Liqueur Variation: Substitute up to 3 tablespoon liqueurs (such as coffee, raspberry, orange, or almond) for the vanilla extract.
