Raw Vegan Chocolate Truffles
This recipe will blow your mind and challenge you taste buds.
My official tasters thought the truffles tasted as if they were made with cream and couldn’t believe that they were actually full of protein and antioxidants
They don’t take much time or process and you can roll the base in different coatings to make a variety of flavours, just like your favourite chocolate box
I took inspiration for this recipe from one of my favourite blogs, Dates and Avocado’s. Lore Salas has such an amazing eye for detail and has inspired so many of my dessert recipes. After being on instagram for a long time, she has just started a blog and I’d encourage anyone with a sweet tooth to check it out!
Mr. B rating for this one, 12 out of 5, so I know what to make when I need to convince him to do something! Bribery always works!
