Raw Vegan Chocolate Truffles -- Just in Time for Christmas!


"You can deprive the body, but the soul needs chocolate."

I found this recipe from the Institute of Nutrition blog, a creation of chef Karolina, and brought it to a recent holiday party.  With no dairy or processed sugar and the goodness of raw cacao it was a hit with everyone!

Prep time: 10 minutes
Un-cook time: 20 minutes
Yield: 25 truffles

Ingredients:
1 cup cacao powder
1 cup cashews
1/2 cup maple syrup
water (to mix)

Roll in shredded coconut, chocolate nibs, cacao powder, dehydrated cherries or cranberries, or whatever you love!

Directions: Mix cashes in a food processor to a powder, adding water to mix. Add mapple syrup to cashews and process, then mix with cacao powder, refrigerate for a few hours or overnight for best results.

Easy and Delish!
