RECIPE NOTES
We coated our truffles with a healthy chocolate mix, the recipe is below:

INGREDIENTS

3/4 cup cacao powder

1/2 cup cacao butter

1 teaspoon vanilla

4 tablespoons rice malt syrup
.

METHOD

  1. Melt the cacao butter on the stove over low heat.
  2. Once liquid, remove and whisk through cacao powder.
  3. Add vanilla and 2 tablespoons of rice malt and continue to mix. Rice malt is optional, you can use stevia or no sweetener at all.
  4. For our truffles, we omitted the sweetener, as we wanted a dark rich chocolate coating with a crack as you bit into it!
  5. Store these truffles in the freezer. They can be stored for up to 4 weeks.
