Description

Blue Truffles are bite-sized treats that combine the rich, creamy essence of plant-based cheese with natural ingredients, providing a delightful balance of savory and sweet flavors. Perfect as snacks, appetizers, or elegant desserts, these quick and simple truffles offer versatility and charm for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 1 cup creamy plant-based cheese
  • 2 tablespoons natural cocoa powder
  • 2 tablespoons natural maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon natural vanilla extract

Natural Gelling Agent

  • 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent (such as agar)

Add-ins

  • 2 tablespoons blueberry powder (natural)
  • 1/4 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
  • Pinch of sea salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Base Mix. In a mixing bowl, gently combine the creamy plant-based cheese, natural cocoa powder, natural maple syrup, and natural vanilla extract until smooth and evenly blended. This creates the creamy foundation for your Blue Truffles.
  2. Add the Natural Gelling Agent. Sprinkle in the natural gelling agent gradually while stirring to ensure it is fully incorporated. This will give the mixture a firm but tender structure without overpowering the delicate flavor.
  3. Fold in Blueberry Powder and Nuts. Carefully fold the blueberry powder and chopped nuts into the mix, distributing them evenly to infuse the truffles with bursts of color and crunch in every bite.
  4. Shape the Truffles. Using a small spoon or your hands, scoop out bite-sized portions and roll them firmly into smooth balls. Place them on a lined tray and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to set completely.
  5. Final Touches and Serving. Before serving, gently dust the Blue Truffles with extra natural cocoa powder or chopped nuts to add an inviting finish. Serve chilled for the best texture and flavor experience.

Notes

  • Use fresh creamy plant-based cheese to enhance texture and taste.
  • Adjust the amount of natural maple syrup to control sweetness.
  • Chill thoroughly to ensure firm, well-shaped truffles.
  • Mix by hand gently to avoid overworking the natural gelling agent and keep texture light and smooth.
  • Experiment with additional natural flavors such as apple cider vinegar or grape juice for a unique tang.
