Love is in the air, and we’ve got a delightful treat for you! Join us in the kitchen as we craft these enchanting Valentine’s Cherry Truffles. Each bite is a perfect blend of rich chocolate and sweet cherries, making them the ideal indulgence for the season of love!
Prep Time: 5 min | Cook Time: 10 min (+2 hours for freezing) | Total Time: 15 min | Servings: 20 truffles
INGREDIENTS:
- 3/4 cup dark chocolate
- 1/3 cup full-fat coconut milk
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- 1/3 cup fresh cherries
- A handful of almonds (optional), finely chopped
- Cherry powder, for rolling
INSTRUCTIONS:
- Take your chocolate pieces and place them in a small saucepan.
- Over low heat, simmer while stirring consistently until all the chocolate has melted into a smooth mixture.
- Once the chocolate is completely melted, add the coconut milk, maple syrup, and cherries.
- If you’re adding some chopped almonds for that extra satisfying crunch, fold them into the chocolate mixture once it has cooled down a bit, but before it has fully hardened.
- Allow the mixture to cool down further, and then transfer it to the fridge for a few hours, or simply leave it overnight.
- Now, take about a teaspoonful of the mixture at a time and roll it into little balls.
- Gently roll each of these truffle balls in cherry powder. Enjoy your homemade Valentine’s Cherry Truffles!
