HEALTHY CHOCOLATE TRUFFLES

I may be biased, but I think these are the best easy homemade truffles! They're really decadent with a deep, rich, dark chocolate flavor (similar to 75% dark chocolate) and soft melt-in-your-mouth texture. They're perfect for Valentine's Day - or any ol' day you're craving chocolate! Store any leftover truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They'll keep for at least one week, maybe more - if they last that long!

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 cup (80g) unsweetened cocoa powder
¼ cup (60mL) unsweetened vanilla almond milk
¼ cup (60mL) pure maple syrup
optional: melted chocolate, for coating, or other coatings ((see Notes for ideas + more information!))

Steps:

  • Add the cocoa powder to a small bowl. Make a well in the center. Pour in the milk and maple syrup. Stir with a fork until all of the cocoa powder is fully incorporated. (It takes some effort and patience. See Notes!) Chill the mixture for 30 minutes.
  • Line a baking sheet with wax paper or parchment paper.
  • Roll the chilled chocolate mixture into 16 balls. (If the mixture sticks to your hands, wipe them with a very lightly moistened paper towel in between rolling each one.) After rolling each one, place onto the prepared baking sheet.
  • Coat the truffles, if desired (see Notes!), before transferring to an airtight container. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

DELICIOUS HEALTHY TRUFFLES

These make a great snack or dessert. I keep them in a bowl in the fridge, covered, for about three days, and my family munches one or two when they want a bit of something instead of having a piece of chocolate or a cookie. I adapted the recipe from George Mateljan's World's Healthiest Foods website.
