Dark Chocolate Cherry Walnut Truffles
OH SHE GLOWSDescription
Similar to my Chocolate Macaroon Truffles, but with a slight tart cherry flavour, hint of almond extract, and walnut crunch. To make the truffles, I soaked and blended dried tart cherries with a bit of sweetener (my immersion blender mini processor worked great for this) and folded it into the truffle mixture with a touch of almond extract. To dress them up for Valentine’s Day, roll the truffles in pink-dyed shredded coconut. Be sure to use a great tasting chocolate here for the best outcome.
Ingredients
- 1 cup walnut halves (finely chopped and toasted)
- 1 cup dried tart cherries
- 2 Tbsp. agave nectar (or other liquid sweetener)
- 1 1/2 cups vegan chocolate chips (your favourite)
- 3/4 cup full fat coconut milk (use the cream from the top of the can)
- 1/2 tsp. kosher salt (to taste, I used 1/2 tsp)
- 1/2 tsp. almond extract
- 1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 12 drops red food colouring
