Description

Simple and sweet homemade Valentine’s Day truffles with 3 delicious dairy-free fillings: pink (fruit-dyed!), peanut butter caramel, or double chocolate. The perfect no-bake chocolate treat for someone you love or spoiling yourself!


Ingredients

Scale

Pink

  • 1 cup (140g) pitaya*
  • 1/4 cup (80g) agave
  • 2 tbsp (25g) coconut oil
  • 1/2 cup (120g) full-fat coconut milk
  • 2/3 cup (80g) coconut flour

Peanut Butter Caramel

  • 1 cup packed (~200g) pitted medjool dates
  • 1/2 cup (125g) peanut butter (or SunButter)
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • Splash of milk or water if needed

Double Chocolate

2 cups dairy-free dark chocolate (for coating)


Instructions

For the pink:

  1. Combine everything except coconut flour in a food processor. Process until smooth.
  2. Add coconut flour. Process to a wet dough.
  3. Press into heart shaped molds.

For the peanut butter caramel: 

  1. Soak dates 15 minutes in warm water. Drain.
  2. Blend everything in a food processor, adding milk/water as needed to create a sticky dough.
  3. Press into heart shaped molds.

For the double chocolate:

  1. Melt everything together, whisk until smooth.
  2. Spoon/pour into heart shaped molds.

To finish:

  1. Freeze at least 4 hours (or overnight).
  2. Pop out of the mold and place back in the fridge on a pan lined with wax paper.
  3. Melt the chocolate for coating. Dip/coat each heart, letting as much excess drip off as possible.
  4. Chill until chocolate is set. Makes 16 of each flavor.

Notes

*I buy it in the frozen section in little cubes. If you can’t find pitaya (aka dragonfruit), raspberries would work instead but you need to puree in a blender and then strain to remove seeds before combining with the rest of the ingredients in the food processor.
