Ingredients
400g Vegan Dark Chocolate
20cl Plant based milk
80g Vegan Butter
(200g Vegan Dark Chocolate)
50g Cacao powder
50g Icing sugar
Preparation
Prepare all your ingredients:
Pour the plant-based milk into a saucepan and bring to the boil.
Meanwhile, chop the chocolate and place it in a big bowl.
When the liquid is hot (about 80°C and until boiling) pour directly over the chopped chocolate
Let the chocolate melt for 5 minutes before you start mixing.
When the chocolate is melted and incorporated, add the butter in small pieces then finish mixing.
In a rectangular mold lined with cling film, pour the ganache.
Cover it with film. And place this mold in a dry and cool place overnight our in the freezer for 2 hours.
For the finish:
Melt the 200 g of dark chocolate in a bain-marie (or in the microwave).
Pour the cocoa powder into one container and the icing sugar into another.
Take the ganache, cut it into small bite-sized pieces.
Roll the truffles in your hands using gloves (otherwise you risk contaminating your truffle and it will keep much shorter)
The coating stage is not mandatory, you could just roll your truffles straight in the powders, but it allows them to keep longer as well as to be crunchier. For that, we will dip the truffles in the melted chocolate using a fork, to coat them in a thin layer of dark chocolate.
Then roll each truffle in cocoa powder or icing sugar if you want a white finish. Remove the truffles from the powders using a small strainer to remove the excess chocolate or sugar.
