Ingredients

Scale

Core Ingredients

  • 200g Rich Plant-Based Chocolate (natural), finely chopped
  • 120ml Plant-Based Cream
  • 2 tbsp Blueberry Powder (natural)
  • 2 tbsp Maple Syrup (natural)
  • 1 tsp Natural Gelling Agent
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract (natural)

Optional Ingredients

  • Chopped Nuts, for rolling (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Blueberry Base: Gently warm the plant-based cream in a saucepan until it is just about to simmer. Slowly stir in the blueberry powder while whisking continuously until the mixture is smooth, vibrant blue, and free of lumps, forming the flavor and color foundation.
  2. Melt the Chocolate: Place the finely chopped rich plant-based chocolate in a heatproof bowl. Pour the warm blueberry cream mixture over the chocolate and let it sit for one minute to soften. Stir gently until the chocolate is fully melted and the mixture is silky smooth.
  3. Sweeten and Add Flavor: Add the maple syrup (natural) and vanilla extract (natural) to the chocolate mixture. Whisk thoroughly until the sweetness and aromatic vanilla are evenly blended, enhancing the depth and richness of the truffles.
  4. Set with Natural Gelling Agent: Sprinkle the natural gelling agent over the mixture and fold it in well. Pour the mixture into a shallow dish and refrigerate for at least two hours until firm enough to shape.
  5. Shape and Decorate: Once set, scoop small portions and roll them evenly between your palms to form uniform balls. Optionally, roll the truffles in chopped nuts for added crunch or dust them with more blueberry powder for extra color and flavor.

Notes

  • Keep your hands cool while rolling truffles to prevent melting.
  • Use high-quality plant-based chocolate and natural flavorings to maximize flavor.
  • Adjust the amount of maple syrup to customize sweetness to your preference.
  • Use a small cookie scoop for evenly sized truffles with a professional look.
  • Make sure the truffle mixture is well chilled before shaping to avoid sticky dough.
