Chocolate Truffles

[lorcas_novena]

Hi guys!

Am making some Christmas presents this year. I've made some gingerbread dough, cranberry chutney, and mincemeat (if you want any recipes I'll post them) and I'm after a good recipe for chocolate truffles, or any kid of chocolates that you've has success with.

Other foodie gift ideas also welcome!

Many thanks!

Vegan fudge is simple and delicious

mm!! does this have a coconut taste, though, even without the flaked coconut?

[lizziebordello]

This one is SOOO easy. I always make the peppermint version, and it doesn't have a coconutty flavour at all!

[eneffigie]

If you omit the flaked coconut, it does not taste like coconut. It works well with a variety of flavors/add-ins because you can't taste the coconut milk.

Fab, thanks! Does it need to get to a certain temperature or just until it's combined?

[eneffigie]

No, it just needs to be a smooth mixture (chocolate chips melted and other ingredients combined).

When this says regular coconut milk, does that mean the canned kind or the refrigerated kind that comes in a quart (like Silk or So Delicious)? My vegan fudge last year was a flop, so I'd like to try another recipe!

[eneffigie]

Canned. I think the kind in a carton would be too thin for it to turn out properly. At any rate, I make it with canned coconut milk and it turns out great. :)

OK, good! I'm going to make a batch this afternoon. Thanks.
