Valentine’s may be over but we are still treating ourselves to a treat or two. These raw cacao truffles are guilt-free and perfect if you’ve been indulging a little too much.
What You’ll Need:
- 2 heaped tbsp. raw cacao powder
- 2 tbsp cashew nuts, soaked for 2 hours
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1 vanilla pod, scrap out the seeds to use
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 red chili deseeded and finely chopped
- 1 tbsp cacao butter, melted
- 1 tbsp coconut oil, melted
What To Do:
- Place all the ingredients, except for the cacao butter and coconut oil, in a blender and blitz. Melt the cacao butter and coconut oil in a microwave for 2 minutes. Then gradually add the mixture to the blended ingredients and blitz until completely combined. The mixture should be fairly wet.
- Spread the mixture onto a flat tray and leave to cool in the fridge for 1 hour. Once the mixture is firm, break off small pieces and roll into balls.
- Roll in chopped nuts, coconut or sesame seeds.
