Description
These Vegan Chocolate Truffles with Blueberries are a decadent and healthy treat, made with rich dark chocolate and fresh blueberries. They’re smooth, creamy, and naturally sweet, perfect for a guilt-free dessert or special occasion.
Ingredients
- 8 oz dark chocolate (70% or higher), chopped
- 1/2 cup canned coconut milk (or almond milk)
- 1/4 cup fresh blueberries
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup (optional, for extra sweetness)
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder (for coating)
- 1 tablespoon shredded coconut (optional, for coating)
Instructions
- Place the chopped dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl.
- In a small saucepan, heat the coconut milk over medium heat until just simmering, but not boiling. Pour the hot coconut milk over the chocolate and let it sit for a minute to melt the chocolate.
- Stir the mixture until smooth and fully combined. Add vanilla extract and maple syrup (if using) and mix again.
- Let the mixture cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for 1–2 hours, or until it firms up enough to roll into truffles.
- Once the chocolate mixture is chilled and firm, gently fold in fresh blueberries, being careful not to crush them.
- Using a spoon or melon baller, scoop out small portions of the chocolate mixture and roll them into balls with your hands.
- Roll the truffles in cocoa powder or shredded coconut to coat. Place them on a tray lined with parchment paper.
- Refrigerate the truffles for at least 30 minutes to set before serving.
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week.
Notes
- For extra flavor, you can add a pinch of sea salt on top of the truffles.
- Use freeze-dried blueberries for an intense blueberry flavor without excess moisture.
- These truffles are also delicious when rolled in crushed nuts or cacao nibs.
