Incredibly yummy vegan truffles.

50 truffles (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Directions

1
Put cashews and cold water in a blender and blend at high speed for 1-2 minutes (yes a long time).
2
Scrape the sides down and blend again until the mixture is the consistency of heavy cream.
3
Meanwhile, in a double boiler heat the chocolate until it's all melted.
4
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).
5
Cool in the fridge for 2 hours (to set).
6
Take out a small ball, roll in cocoa powder and store in fridge/freezer.
7
Repeat until done.

these are absolutely amazing! i like to cover them in chocolate and white chocolate and let them solidify in little glassine candy cups. (makes them look fancy) i used to freeze the truffles to make them easier to dip in the chocolate, but it apparently makes the truffle concoction contract. and then when they come back to room temperature, the filling will ooze out of any holes or thin areas of the coating. oops! hehe. i must have made these 5 times already, and they're always perfect!

Just made these again, and this time added some almond paste and Disaronno liqueur when blending the cashews — wow! And I've been informed by my 13 year old that he prefers a toasted coconut coating. Thanks for a great recipe!

I would love to give these more stars if I could. Rich, creamy, deep chocolate truffles. I didn't think anything could be better than the Dove Dark I used to be obsessed with, but this is truly even better!! These certainly satisfy my chocolate cravings. I made them into very small bite size balls and rolled them in unsweetened coconut. No way can you eat just one... FANTASTIC recipe, Zeke!
