I was looking for some new recipes to try and I found myself at http://www.yummly.com/. When I first entered the word vegan, one of the first recipes to come up was chocolate truffles. With only four ingredients, this just seemed far too interesting to ignore. I'm already thinking of tinkering with this.. a different coating... adding mint extract to it or possibly even something more potent.
Ingredients:
3/4 cup raw cashews
3/4 cup cold water
1 lb semisweet chocolate
cocoa powder
Melt the chocolate in a double boiler.
While that is happening, place the cashews and water in a blender and blend on high for two minutes. Stop the blender, scrape it down and then blend again for another minute. This will result in a heavy cream like liquid.
Once the chocolate is melted, remove from heat and let it cool a bit. While still stirrable, gently mix in the cashew cream.
Once it is all combined, chill for at least two hours.
Using a spoon, scoop out some of the chocolate mixture, roll into a ball and drop into a bowl with cocoa powder. Roll around in the powder and then plate. Keep chilled once made.
Decadent and yummy!
