Instructions
 

  • Add your drained and rinsed chickpeas to your food processor or blender along with nut butter, liquid sweetener, and cocoa powder.
  • Blend until smooth.
  • Refrigerate for five minutes, then divide into 10 pieces and roll each into a ball.
  • Melt your chocolate in the microwave, stopping and stirring every 30 seconds to avoid burning – or melt your chocolate using a double boiler.
  • Dip and coat each truffle in dark chocolate, then place on a sheet of parchment paper.
  • Refrigerate or freeze until the chocolate shell has set.

Notes

TIPS & NOTES:
  • For a smoother texture, blend the chickpeas thoroughly until no lumps remain.
  • If the mixture is too soft to roll, chill it in the fridge for 10-15 minutes.
  • Use a fork to dip the truffles in melted chocolate for an even coating.
  • Add a sprinkle of sea salt or crushed nuts on top for extra flavor and texture.
  • Store truffles in an airtight container to keep them fresh and prevent them from absorbing other flavors in the fridge.
 
MEASUREMENTS:
I always recommend using a kitchen weighing scale and using weighted measurements. This will result in a more accurate process and your truffles will come out perfectly.
