FESTIVE TRUFFLES ๐๐๐
Hello my dearest Foodies,
So I made a very short video to show you an easy way to dip truffles into chocolate and I was trying to publish it on Dtube, unfortunately, I was not able to. After the video was finally uploaded, which took forever, I got notification that unknown error occurred and that was that! No problem at the old YouTube, lol. So here I am and it's already midnight, so I better hurry up.
Anyway, these truffles are easy to make and you don't need any special tools. They are absolutely to die for and full of nutrients. Much better for you and your loved ones than Ferrero Rocher. Also, they are great addition to your Holiday table.

Author: Lenaโs Vegan Living
INGREDIENTS FOR 16 TRUFFLES
โข Pitted dates 1 cup (soaked for 15 minutes and drained)
โข Almond flour 1 cup
โข Rum or rum extract 1tsp
โข Cacao powder 3tbs
โข Virgin coconut oil ยผ cup (melted above the steam)
โข Canned coconut cream ยผ cup (only the thick part)
โข Hazelnuts 1 cup
โข Mini ice cream scoop
โข Tooth picks
โข Tray lined with parchment paper.
PROCESS
โข Save 16 whole hazelnuts and chop the rest in the food processor, transfer into a dish and set aside.
โข Start blending the dates by pressing pulse button, while scarping the sides and adding rest of the ingredients.
โข Set the blender at the full speed at the end until you get smooth mixture.
โข Transfer it into a sealed container and store in a refrigerator for couple hours.
โข When ready, begging to measure with your ice cream scoop just the right amount of the mixture you need for one truffle.
โข Take one hazelnut and press it in the middle of your portion.
โข Scoop it out into your palm and make a nice round ball.
โข Continue until you have all done and please each on your tray.
โข When ready, take your toothpicks and gently insert them on top of each ball.
โข Place them into freeze for one hour, to secure the toothpicks.
CHOCOLATE
โข Dark chocolate chips 1 cup
โข Light coconut milk or other plant based milk 1/2 cup (you can add more if needed)
โข Maple syrup ยผ cup (you can add more if needed)
PROCESS
โข Start by melting the chocolate chips in a small pot over steaming water on medium heat.
โข When ready, slowly pour the chocolate into the coconut milk in a bowl, while stirring.
โข Add the maple syrup and keep stirring.
โข If the chocolate become too thick, you can add more milk.
โข Take it off the heat and stir some more until completely smooth.
โข Take only couple balls from the freezer for dipping and leave the rest there. Have a tray ready in the fridge to place them there after you done.
โข Have your hazelnuts ready on your side and begging to dip.
โข This part is hard to explain so I made a video.
And don't laugh, I don't have the right equipment to make videos, so it's little bit silly and I had to speed it up little. Otherwise it would be too long and boring. But make sure you pay attention to my fancy apron, lol.

Actually it is an easy recipe. I have the need it to create desserts like yours... I preffer when steemians share videos on youtube. cause Dtube is very slow, and as you say always give error... i like to think when and ready for cooking gonna took the same time then the video lol. but thats not the true... anyway even the musical selection was great... wonderfull recipe.
Thank you so much I am glad you think so and I am happy you like this recipe. I hope you make some of your own ๐
since I use steemit, must of the dishes a create. it's because other steemian share it... for sure when I make my own. definitely going to use your recipe.
oh wow, that is amazing. So happy to hear that ๐
It looks amazing. I might make this for Christmas, but I'm not sure I can find coconut cream here in Romania.
Thank you so much my Dear and I hope you find coconut cream. It comes from Asia, which is much closer to Romania than to Canada, so you might be surprised.
wow, Lena that looks fantastic and I love truffle balls, thanks for the recipe and the video ๐
I am glad you like it Sweetie and thank you so much ๐ธ๐๐ธ
Like my good friend @blacklux would say : I WAAAANT !!!!
Ps : I love your Apron ! ;-)
aahahah I DO WANT! and it's vegan so I don't have to worry about my diet!
Thank you so much ๐ธ๐๐ธ
Oh guys, I wish I could send you some, thank you so much Luigi ๐ธ๐๐ธ
Those look delicious! And look at you making instructional videos! I'm impressed!
Oh my gosh Melinda, thank you so much. I am still editing , lol.
Hahaha, I'm dipping like this too! And I love your apron!! I'm thinking about one with a message too :)
This is such a lovely recipe! I made similar truffles last year for Christmas. My family barely touched them (they refuse to eat anything what I make since it's vegan - I know ridiculous :D) so I ate them with my husband and gifted a few of them to my friends. They were delicious!
You gave me an idea to make them again this year and torture my family a little bit :D I hope they will try them this time though :)
Thank you for sharing and I'm happy to see that curie paid you a visit ;)
I am so sory to hear that Martina. I guess I should be thankful that my family even if not vegan likes my vegan food.
Anyway thank you so much for stopping by; I am happy you like it. By the way, are still curating for Curie?
I'm fine with the fact that they don't even want to try. I got used to it. I just feel sorry for them because I see how they simply don't feel good and how their health is getting worse. Especially my mom's health. But she is grown up and she needs to see it for herself..
Not at the moment as it takes so much time. There are not that many posts around and I'm involved in various projects so can't spend a lot of time on curie. Are you still curating?
I am very sorry to hear that Sweetie, Although my family is not vegan they are very healthy and they eat considerably healthy for not vegans, lol. But as I said, they like my food.
I am also not curating since the time you asked me to join, for same reasons as yours and few other reasons. Oh well, we tried, lol. Wish you all the best with your projects Martina ๐
Oh my gosh, they made my mouth drool :-) You can send me a box for Christmas, thank you!
Thnak you so much Dear Icy and I will send you box for sure, lol ๐ธ๐๐ธ
You reminded me of last Christmas when I had so many of these...bit it was from the store. You made it very simpler to have it made at home...hopefully I manage to get some this time ..and for sure the taste is much better than the one I had last year.....Christmas is near now....thanks for sharing some great delicies....
