Cashew Truffles Recipes

VEGAN TRUFFLES

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.

Steps:

• Put cashews and cold water in a blender and blend at high speed for 1-2 minutes (yes a long time).
• Scrape the sides down and blend again until the mixture is the consistency of heavy cream.
• Meanwhile, in a double boiler heat the chocolate until it's all melted.
• Cool the chocolate until it's comfortable to work with and fold in the cashew cream (making sure not to stir too fast or you'll create bubbles).
• Cool in the fridge for 2 hours (to set).
• Take out a small ball, roll in cocoa powder and store in fridge/freezer.
• Repeat until done.
