Dark Chocolate Vegan Truffles are simple and delicious treats made with 100% plant-based ingredients: dried fruit, sugar, dark chocolate, bitter cocoa, and oat milk. Perfect for a snack or as a happy ending to a meal, they're super easy to make at home, and they're fun to make with the help of the little ones.
To serve, simply blend the hazelnuts and sugar until smooth and creamy, then add them to the melted chocolate and warmed milk. The creamy, smooth mixture is then refrigerated for at least a couple of hours. Then, take small portions and shape them into walnut-sized pralines, which you can then cover with bitter cocoa, chopped hazelnuts, or pistachios, as desired.
Alternatively, you can decorate the balls with flaked almonds or puffed rice, dip them in flaked coconut, or dip them in a small bowl of crumbled aquafaba meringues. Once ready, you can arrange the truffles in the dessert corner at a party buffet, or put them in a tin and offer them to friends and family as a delicious gourmet gift.
If you like, you can fill them with a whole hazelnut or a candied cherry. Instead of granulated sugar, you can use brown sugar; we used oat milk, but any other alternative will work just fine.
