How to Make Vegan Blueberry Truffles:
Listed below are all the ingredients you will need:
- coconut cream
- freeze-dried blueberries
- dark chocolate, vegan
- vanilla extract
- dried blueberries
- cocoa powder
In a blender, combine coconut cream and freeze-dried blueberries. Blend until very smooth:
Chop the chocolate very finely. The smaller it is the easier it will be to melt.
Place in a heat-proof bowl. Heat the coconut cream mixture gently in a saucepan over low heat. Do not allow it to boil and once just about to simmer, remove from heat, add vanilla:
Pour over the chopped chocolate, then stir gently, allowing the chocolate to melt. Keep stirring until smooth. If the chocolate doesn’t completely melt, place the mixture over a saucepan of simmering water (or heat in the microwave in 10-sec bursts). Don’t overheat the mixture. Cover the bowl loosely (you don’t want condensation to fall into the chocolate) and chill until firm, at least 2 hours:
Place the cocoa powder in a shallow bowl and set it aside. Then, have a clean non-stick surface ready to place the truffles on.
Use a small (about 1 tsp) melon baller to scoop round portions. Place 2-3 wild blueberries in the center of each truffle by placing them on the melted chocolate and scooping around them. This is best done by scooping a small indent in the chocolate, placing the blueberries in it, and scooping around, turning the chocolate over until you have a round truffle:
Smooth the truffles round by rolling between your palms gently. Then, roll each truffle in cocoa powder and place it on a nonstick surface to reharden:
