Creamy Chocolate Truffles



So often, we vegans are left out of the dessert bar at holiday parties for fear of sneaky dairy products! However, by substituting yummy coconut milk for the usual heavy whipping cream, you can bring a dessert to your next party that will knock everyone's socks off!

What You'll Need:

  • 1 12 oz. package vegan semisweet chocolate chips
  • 2 Tbsp. vegan margarine (I like to use Earth Balance)
  • 1/4 cup regular coconut milk (do not use a low fat or fat free version)
  • 2 Tbsp. liqueur if desired (kahlua, cherry, coffee, hazelnut, orange, etc.) 
  • Finely chopped pecans, if desired
  • Sprinkles or colored sugar, if desired
What to Do:

Line a cookie sheet with aluminum foil. Then, melt the chocolate chips in a large pan over low heat, stirring constantly. Stir in margarine. Once it melts, remove from heat and all the liqueur and coconut milk. Refrigerate the mixture for 10-15 minutes, or until it can hold a shape. Roll the mixture into 1-inch balls and immediately roll them in chopped nuts or sprinkles. Freeze them for 30 minutes, but then let them come to room temperature before serving. Enjoy!
