If you’re anything like me, you might be slightly addicted to Booja Booja- the insanely good (but insanely expensive) vegan chocolate truffles. Well if your budget doesn’t quite stretch to that this Valentine’s Day and you’re still looking to gift your ‘free from’ companion someone special- then this recipe for your very own vegan chocolate coconut truffles is the perfect solution!

Vegan ChocolateCoconutTruffles

They look incredibly decadent, but they’re actually really easy to make (I promise!) and you will only need a handful of everyday ingredients to make them! You’ll just need to make sure you remember to find time to leave these in the fridge-as they do need a few hours to set.

As always with the recipes I share on here, I’d encourage you to make your own adaptations. I imagine added dried fruit might not only boost the fibre content of these but offer additional sweetness. If coconut milk isn’t your thing, a creamy plant-based alternative like Hazlenut milk might work just as well instead.I’ll definitely be making these in batches and keeping for snacking-I’m envisioning adding a few teaspoons of nut butter for extra creaminess and perhaps stirring in some flaxseed to get a good hit of Omega 3s!

Pin It for later…
