Recipe of the Week: Easy Chocolate Truffles

Avatar of Paige-S

Posted December 29, 2011 by Paige Snyder

The holidays might be coming to an end but feasting on delicious food doesn’t have to! Start the new year by treating yourself and your friends to these shockingly easy-to-make chocolate truffles. The chocolate chips used in the recipe are available at Whole Foods and health-food stores. If you can’t find the grain-sweetened variety, any vegan chocolate will do.

Easy Chocolate Truffles
1 cup soy or almond milk
2 Tbsp. agar flakes
18 oz. dairy-free grain-sweetened chocolate chips
Cocoa powder
Roasted or raw hazelnuts, finely chopped
Roasted coconut flakes

  • In a saucepan over medium heat, bring the soy or almond milk and agar to a simmer.
  • Add the chocolate chips and stir until melted.
  • Remove from the heat and transfer to a baking pan. Allow to cool, then refrigerate for 1 hour.
  • Using a spoon, scoop up about 1 ounce of the chocolate. Roll between your hands to form a small ball. Continue until the mixture is used up.
  • Roll each ball in the cocoa, hazelnuts, or coconut.
  • Store in the refrigerator until ready to serve.

Makes 24 truffles

Bring these treats to a New Year’s Eve party. You’ll be the hit of 2012 and ready to start off another great year for animals! That’s what I’m doing!

    yum this looks really good, but I’m with you because I don’t like chocolate(or any candy) either.

    Well let's just say life ain't always beautiful but it's a beautiful ride. I love all my pets and would do anything for them. I have one dog, two cats, a ferret and my babygirl shaymin,(the cutest hedgehog alive) I'm into all different kinds of music. I'm a singer myself and love art.

    Father loves to farm, be self sustainable, loves to read, he's a antiques/vintage auctioneer, art student, and looks like mr. Rogers. My mother is a Montessori teacher and is amazing with children, all about local organic foods, loves gardening, cooking etc. my sister who is nine years older than me was into indie music and introduced me to all sorts of things at a young age. This all rubbed of on me and from that base I grew into similar things. I'm an INFJ

    I want to get into marketing but not have to rely on people which have different morals and worldviews than I do to hire me. While I'm figuring this out, I want to show everyone what I believe in and spur them into action against injustices.
