Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 can (13.5 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 1/2 cup nut or seed butter (almond or cashew butter recommended)
  • 1 cup vegan dark chocolate chips (melted)

For Dipping and Toppings

  • 1 cup vegan dark chocolate chips (additional, melted, for coating)
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil (to melt with chocolate chips)
  • Cacao nibs (optional)
  • Goji berries (optional)
  • Sprinkles (optional)
  • Shredded coconut (optional)
  • Nuts or seeds (optional)
  • Freeze dried fruits (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Drain and rinse one can of chickpeas thoroughly. Melt 1 cup of the vegan dark chocolate chips in a microwave or using a double boiler until smooth.
  2. Blend Mixture: Add the rinsed chickpeas, 1/2 cup nut butter, and melted chocolate chips into a food processor or blender. Blend for 45-60 seconds until the ingredients are well combined and form a smooth batter.
  3. Form Truffle Balls: Using a cookie scoop, portion the batter onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Place the balls in the freezer for 15-20 minutes to firm up. Once firm, remove and roll each into a smooth ball, then return to the freezer for another 10 minutes.
  4. Melt Coating Chocolate: While the truffles harden, melt the additional 1 cup of vegan dark chocolate chips with 1 tablespoon of coconut oil until smooth.
  5. Coat Truffles: Take the truffles from the freezer and dip them thoroughly into the melted chocolate coating. Place coated truffles back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet and put them into the freezer to harden completely.
  6. Add Toppings: Optionally, before the coating hardens fully, sprinkle with desired toppings such as cacao nibs, goji berries, sprinkles, shredded coconut, nuts, seeds, or freeze-dried fruit for added texture and flavor.
  7. Store and Serve: Once hardened, store the truffles in the refrigerator to keep fresh. Enjoy them within 7-10 days refrigerated or up to 30-60 days if stored in the freezer.

Notes

  • Ensure chickpeas are well rinsed and drained to avoid excess moisture which could affect texture.
  • Use any nut or seed butter according to preference or dietary restrictions.
  • For a smoother coating, add coconut oil while melting chocolate to help thin it.
  • Customize toppings based on what you have or like; freeze-dried fruits add a nice tartness and crunch.
  • Store truffles in an airtight container to maintain freshness and prevent moisture buildup.
  • These truffles are vegan and free from refined sugars if using unsweetened chocolate chips and natural nut butters.
  • Allow truffles to thaw slightly at room temperature before eating for best texture.
