Servings 50 (approximately)
Ingredients
For the truffles
- 1 ⅓ cups (200 g / 7 oz) unsalted, raw cashews
- 1 cup cold water
- 400 g / 14 oz good quality dark, bittersweet, or semisweet chocolate, melted
Coatings
- unsweetened cocoa powder (I use Dutch-processed)
- shredded coconut
- chopped nuts
Instructions
- In a food processor or a blender, add the cashews and the water and blend until smooth and creamy.
- Pour the cashew cream mixture into the melted chocolate and gently mix with a spatula or a spoon until well combined and there are no more white streaks.
- Cover the bowl loosely with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator overnight.
- Wear gloves or dust your hands with unsweetened cocoa powder, if you don’t mind getting a bit messy! Using a teaspoon, take out a small amount of the mixture and roll into a small ball. Work quickly so the chocolate doesn’t melt.
- If you wish, roll in unsweetened cocoa powder, shredded coconut, or chopped walnuts.
- Cover tightly and store in the refrigerator for up to a week.
- Enjoy!
Notes
- Raw cashews: I used raw cashews because they have a very mild flavor that doesn’t interfere with the overall taste.
- Toppings: Other toppings can also be used, like powdered sugar, sprinkles, or crushed candy.
