Easy Chocolate Truffles Recipe

photo by recipe author

Servings: 6
Preparation Time: 5 minutes

5 tablespoons coconut cream concentrate
4 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa or cacao powder
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 cup water or coconut milk*
2 tablespoons raw honey, to taste
1/2 cup chopped nuts (I used pecans) or shredded coconut flakes to roll truffles in
Extra cocoa powder for rolling (for nut-free)

Place jar of coconut cream concentrate in a bowl of hot water to soften (it doesn’t have to be 100% liquid). Add coconut cream concentrate to small bowl and add cocoa powder. Stir until well incorporated. Next, add vanilla, stevia (or other sweetener) and water. Stir until velvety and creamy. Taste for sweetness and adjust if necessary. If cream hardens or clumps, simply re-melt by placing bowl in warm water and stirring.

Refrigerate for 20-30 minutes or until mixture has solidified.

Place nuts, coconut or cocoa powder into a small bowl. Using small scoop, scoop out approximately 1.5 tablespoons of the chocolate mixture and place on top of nuts or coconut. Move bowl around to coat chocolate completely. Repeat for remaining truffles. Store in fridge until your daily dose of medicine is needed! Contains almost 1 tablespoon of coconut oil per truffle.

* For the freshest coconut milk make homemade coconut milk. (See video at this link.)

Sarah S. yes, thank you, I left it out per night and it did firm up, but I think adding a little more CCC is a good idea!
Thanks

Pamela – did you refrigerate the mixture for awhile? Coconut Cream Concentrate will harden right up in cooler temperatures so that should do the trick. If not, add more CCC.

These are very easy to make and quite tasty.  I followed the instructions almost exactly and they came out great.  I added a tad less honey than called for so they would not be too sweet.  I did not have pecans so I toasted and chopped some walnuts.  Perfect!

I made the “Easy Chocolate Truffles” today, and I don’t know what I did wrong, but when I went to scoop out the balls, mine was watery in the middle. Not just a little, either. 
Any suggestions, PLEASE! I would love to make them the correct way. 
Thanks!

Why can I not find Tropical Traditions in any grocery store here in Northeastern Pennsylvania?

These are wonderful!  Even my 9 year old thought they were yummy.  I coated mine in soaked crispy pecans.  My daughter thinks they taste like chocolate whipped cream :).
