No reviews

These vegan coconut truffles are a nice and simple Raffaelo-inspired snack. They are such a nice treat and make perfect gifts.

  • Total Time: 60 minutes
  • Yield: 26 truffles 1x

Ingredients

Scale

50g coconut oil

100g coconut butter

40g cashew butter

50ml maple syrup

20g shredded coconut

26 blanched almonds

Instructions

Melt the coconut oil in a bowl or saucepan until liquid. Keep the temperature on the low side.

Combine the molten oil in a mixing bowl with the coconut butter, cashew cream, and maple syrup. Mix it until you have a uniform dough. Chill the mixture in the fridge for about half an hour to make it easier to work with.

Once the mixture has set a bit, scoop out a tablespoon for each truffle.

Press the dough flat into your hand, add a blanched almond to the center, and roll them into a truffle. Finally, roll them in shredded coconut.

Notes

If you don’t have coconut butter, you can make it yourself using 100g of shredded coconut. It needs to be worked into a uniform paste by shredding it with a food processor for 3-5 minutes until it has a creamy consistency. 

These truffles should be stored in the fridge.
