Truffles La Vegan - review

[Guest guest]

Well I made them! I decided to cut down the recipe, knowing that if I

used a pound of chocolate I'd probably eat them all and make myself

vey sick, LOL. This further messing about with amounts meant that I

think that my chocolate to cashew cream ratio was a bit off so next

time I shall use more cashew cream. (I never thought I'd see the day

the I'd say that chocolate was too overpowering, LOL.) The chocolate I

used was 75% cocoa solids so perhaps it needed toning down a bit as

the truffles are extraordinarily rich. I tried rolling them in cocoa

powder which just made them even more chocolatey and I found they

really soaked it up so I ended up using dry icing sugar which worked

well.

 

Oh, and I completely forgot the point of the whole exercise which was

to use chilli so I shall have to make some more - oh dear, what a

shame :-) I also think they would be really good with ginger - perhaps

tiny pieces of crystallised ginger - mmm.

I don't know what a truffle really is but they sound

like a cherry would go good in them.

Cherries would be a good idea, Paul, they would add the sweetness that

is currently missing. Thank you
