Ingredients

Scale

Truffle Mixture

  • 1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 1/4 cup cocoa powder (unsweetened)
  • 1/4 cup sweetener (such as maple syrup, honey, or agave syrup)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chickpeas: Drain and rinse the chickpeas thoroughly to remove any canned flavor and excess sodium.
  2. Blend Ingredients: In a food processor or blender, combine the chickpeas, cocoa powder, and sweetener. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as necessary to ensure even mixing.
  3. Form the Truffles: Using your hands or a small scoop, roll the mixture into small, bite-sized balls. Place them on a lined tray or plate.
  4. Chill: Refrigerate the truffles for at least 30 minutes to allow them to firm up before serving.

Notes

  • You can customize the sweetener according to your preference or dietary needs.
  • For added texture, consider rolling the finished truffles in shredded coconut, crushed nuts, or extra cocoa powder.
  • Store the truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
  • Make sure the chickpeas are well rinsed to keep the flavor fresh and neutral.
