Indulge in these delightful chocolate chickpea truffles for a unique and tasty treat!
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 0.5 cup nut or seed butter (almond or cashew recommended)
- 1 cup vegan dark chocolate chips, melted
- 1 cup vegan dark chocolate chips, melted (for coating)
- 1 tbsp coconut oil
Instructions
- Start by draining and rinsing the chickpeas thoroughly to remove any excess sodium.
- Melt the dark chocolate either in the microwave in 30-second intervals or using a double boiler on the stovetop.
- In a food processor or blender, combine the chickpeas, nut butter, and melted chocolate chips. Blend for about 45-60 seconds until well mixed and smooth.
- Use a cookie scoop to place the batter onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- After the mixture is firm, roll the hardened dough into smooth balls and return to the freezer.
- Melt the additional dark chocolate for dipping. Add the coconut oil to the melted chocolate.
- Coat each truffle in the melted chocolate and place them back on the parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Optionally, before the chocolate sets, sprinkle your desired toppings over the truffles.
- Freeze the truffles until completely hardened.
- Once set, store the truffles in the fridge.
Notes
For a fun twist, try different toppings like cacao nibs, goji berries, or shredded coconut to customize your truffles.
