Vegan Truffles (No Bake)

These delicious no-bake vegan truffles are made with 5 easy ingredients and make a perfect healthy snack or dessert.

I love these gorgeous vegan truffles. Not only are they super easy and taste delicious but I reckon they’re pretty healthy too.

It’s a dessert, or it’s an afternoon snack. Or heck, go ahead and have a couple for breakfast if you like.

They’re like little power balls of awesomeness.

You can buy these ‘energy balls’ at the shops around here and these are similar, but I’d say these are much, much yummier.

This is a super-simple 5-ingredient recipe that you whip up in your food processor. There’s no baking involved. So it really couldn’t be easier.

How To Make Vegan Truffles

You process almonds, pine nuts, dessicated coconut, cocoa powder and maple syrup up in the food processor and then roll the dough into balls. Then you roll the balls in either more cocoa/cacao powder or dessicated coconut. Easy as that.

You might think rolling the balls in cocoa/cacao powder wouldn’t taste very nice because it’s unsweetened (and pretty bitter) but it actually works out great, because the truffle itself is wonderfully sweet, so the cocoa powder on the outside actually works great in spite of it being bitter tasting on its own.

Storing and Freezing

Keep them stored in the fridge or freezer. They don’t freeze solid in the freezer but do get very hard and chewy, whereas in the fridge they are softer but still perfectly hold their shape.

If you store them in the fridge then enjoy them within 7 days. If you store them in the freezer then enjoy them within 2 months.
