Time 4h10m

Yield 30 to 35 truffles

Number Of Ingredients 8

2/3 cup Cashew Cream, recipe follows
2 cups (12 ounces) 41-percent cocoa vegan chocolate chips
1 teaspoon agave syrup
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Zest of 1/2 medium orange
Topping suggestions: Finely chopped pistachio nuts, cocoa powder, vegan chocolate chips, finely chopped crystallized ginger
1 cup water
1 cup raw, unsalted cashews

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.
