truffle dessert

This decadent homemade Chocolate Truffle Recipe is an easy no-bake dessert option that comes together with just 5 ingredients. These rich and fudgy truffles can be covered in your favorite toppings and a smooth chocolate coating to finish them off!

Chocolate Truffles

(339 grams) milk

(157 milliliters) heavy whipping cream

espresso powder coffee (optional)

sea salt

vanilla extract

Toppings (sprinkles, cocoa powder, chopped nuts, etc.)

chocolate wafers (such as Ghirardelli)

Place the chocolate, salt and espresso powder in a heat-proof bowl. Set aside.

Heat the cream in the microwave at 50% power for 60-90 seconds until hot, but not boiling. Pour over the chocolate and allow to sit for at least 5 minutes, untouched.

Stir the chocolate and cream until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth. Then, stir in the vanilla extract. Allow the mixture to cool for 15 minutes, then refrigerate for 1-2 hours (or overnight) until the chocolate is firm.

Remove the chocolate from the fridge and let it sit for 20-30 minutes at room temperature, until you can easily scoop the chocolate without it breaking apart. Use a small cookie scoop or spoon to make balls of chocolate. Place on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Roll the balls of chocolate between your hands until a round, smooth ball is formed. Then roll in toppings, if desired.

To Add a Chocolate Coating

In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate wafers at 50% power in 30 second intervals; stir after each interval and continue until the chocolate is melted. Reduce microwave time as needed so the chocolate does not burn. Use a fork to dip the truffle in the chocolate, covering it completely. Tap the fork on the side of the bowl to remove excess chocolate. Allow the chocolate to set.

To Add a Chocolate Drizzle

Wait until the chocolate has fully set, then apply the drizzle. Fill a small piping bag or Ziploc bag with 2-3 tablespoons of melted chocolate and cut off the tip/corner of the bag. Drizzle and allow to set.

These Inner Goddess Chocolate Truffles are made with just six healthy ingredients - dates, nuts, almond meal, cocoa, vanilla, and sea salt. So delicious!

Inner Goddess Chocolate Truffles

medjool dates, pitted

nuts

almond meal (or any other finely ground nuts)

cocoa powder

vanilla

sea salt (more

coconut

Soak the dates in hot water for a few minutes to soften. Drain and squeeze out excess water.

Pulse the nuts, nut meal, and cocoa in a food processor until finely ground. Add the dates, vanilla and sea salt and pulse until a thick, sticky dough ball forms. Remove the dough ball from the food processor &#8211; taste and add any salt or other flavors you want (like peppermint extract around the holidays &#8211; yummay).

Roll the dough into small balls &#8211; you should be able to get 18-24. Roll the balls in toppings of your choice like cocoa powder, chocolate sprinkles, or flaked coconut, or you can just leave them without any toppings for a not-super-cute-but-still-tastes-good snack. Place on a baking sheet and store in the freezer until they are hard enough not to stick together. Transfer to an airtight container and keep in the refrigerator or freezer.
