INGREDIENT NOTES:
VEGAN HAZELNUT CREAM:
- It includes a rich and smooth texture in the dessert. This cream works well with the chocolate and makes the truffles taste indulgent. You may use almond butter as per your preference.
COCONUT FLOUR:
- This flour absorbs the moisture from the hazelnut cream and maple syrup. It provides enough structure to the truffles. You may use almond flour as a substitute.
PURE MAPLE SYRUP:
- It adds a sweet taste and keeps the recipe vegan. Maple syrup includes a subtle caramel taste that pairs well with chocolate and hazelnuts. You may use agave syrup as an alternative.
VEGAN CHOCOLATE:
- This chocolate gives the rich brownie-like taste in the dessert. It firms up the truffles when we chill them. You may use vegan semi-sweet chocolate as a replacement.
INSTRUCTIONS:
- First, chop the vegan chocolate into small pieces to melt it evenly.
- Put the chocolate into a bowl and gently melt it over the saucepan of simmering water.
- Stir the hazelnut cream into the melted chocolate and mix in the maple syrup properly.
- Include coconut flour gradually and stir after adding each batch, then mix in the flaky salt as per your preference.
- When the mixture becomes easy to scoop, cover it and chill for 30 minutes.
- Scoop one tbsp of mixture and roll it in your palms to make a smooth ball.
- Sprinkle a tiny amount of flaky salt on the tops and chill the finished truffles for 20 minutes.
- Lastly, serve the truffles after cooling at room temperature for a few minutes.
