How To Prepare Vegan Champagne Truffles
Truffles can be enjoyed by everyone. Delicate and delightful rounds of chocolate, often with other flavours added to thrill the taste-buds. They are the greatest treats. Champagne truffles are one variety that can be made very easily. In fact, even those on a vegan or dairy free diet can enjoy them.
Below is one vegan recipe that has been tested and makes about 40 – 50 truffles.
3 cups powdered sugar.
3 cups icing sugar, or powdered sugar.
12 oz vegan chocolate, preferably semi-sweet. This is available in health food stores.
1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla or 1 – 2 teaspoons champagne
Toppings of your choice. For example, cocoa powder, chopped pecans, coconut.
Use a double boiler to melt the chocolate until it is smooth, stirring occasionally. Make sure that no water gets into the chocolate, or it will become slightly sour to taste.
Blend or beat the cream cheese until it is smooth. Add the powdered sugar a little at a time until it is well blended. It may become a little lumpy at the beginning if you add too much sugar at once. This can be accomplished in a blender if you wish.
Mix in the melted chocolate and champagne until completely combined. ( If you are using any other flavours than champagne, this is when you would put them in.)
Place in the fridge for up to an hour until it has solidified slightly.
Shape into balls with the palms of your hands. About a tablespoon of the mix will create a 1-inch ball. This you then roll into the topping of your choice. The toppings should be places on plates so that they do not mix. Any topping will roll onto your truffle well, though most traditional is powdered cocoa.
You can choose either to place the truffles on a platter, or in small paper cups for serving. They can be frozen if you need to keep them for a long time, though will keep well in a fridge for two weeks.
To turn them into a gift for another, simply find a small elegant box. Line the box with waxed paper and use small paper cups to display the champagne truffles to their best advantage. This will prevent them from touching and melting. This is a beautiful gift.
Many people are aware they can buy champagne truffles but not many know how to make proper vegan chocolates
