Ingredients
- 3/4 cup raw cashews
- 3/4 cup cold water
- 1 lb bittersweet chocolate
- cocoa powder
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

yum! i was a little skeptical, but these were great! i used toasted coconut on half, and a mixture of cocoa and powdered sugar on the other half (i think plain cocoa is too bitter!)

I've made these twice now, once with bittersweet chocolate and once with semisweet chocolate chips. Both were fabulous! I've served them to about 20 people, and several asked for the recipe. Vegans and non-vegans alike love these, and they're very easy to make. You can roll them in a lot of different things. I think a mixture of cocoa and cinnamon is especially good. I will probably make these many more times.

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!
