These are the proverbial melt-in-your mouth truffles that taste like sin itself!
ingredients
- 3/4 cup raw cashews
- 3/4 cup cold water
- 16 ounce vegan semi-sweet chocolate chips (about 2 1/2 cups)
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- Optional: 1/2 tsp pure mint or peppermint extract
- chopped nuts and / or shredded coconut for topping
- cocoa powder for topping
Puree the cashews and water for 1-2 minutes until they make a heavy cream consistency
In a saucepan, directly on the burner (not over a double boiler), heat the oil and melt the chocolate over medium heat until smooth, turn the heat down until the chocolate is cool enough to work with, fold in the cashew cream. Don't let it bubble!
Pour into a fridge friendly container, mix in the mint extract if desired, then let the mixture chill until it's easy to work with, about 2 hours
Form into small walnut sized balls and roll in whatever garnish/topping you prefer (the easiest is just to drop the ball into a bowl with some cocoa powder and without touching the ball shake the bowl around in a circular motion to completely coat the ball)
