Ginger Chocolate Truffles

For the ginger lovers out there, these vegan ginger chocolate truffles made from only 5 ingredients make a delicious and healthy winter treat.

We confess to loving these so much, we enjoy them all year round! Just be aware they do need time to set.

Ingredients

• 300 g Sacred Earth Medicine Ceremonial Cacao finely ground
• 7 tbsp coconut cream
• 5 tbsp maple syrup or honey
• 1/2 tsp ginger powder
• 5 pieces of crystallized ginger, cut in half

Instructions

1. Place 150 g of the cacao (half) in a double boiler on low heat, using a heat-proof bowl over a small saucepan that has some water in it. Make sure the water is not touching the bottom of the bowl and stir until melted.
2. In the meantime, using a small saucepan or milk pot, heat the coconut cream until it’s brought to a gentle simmer. Do not boil! Turn off the heat and stir in the maple or honey.
3. Add the coconut mix to the cacao and using a silicone spatula or wooden spoon combine until nice and smooth.
4. Add the ginger powder and mix until well incorporated.
5. Place in the fridge for at least 2 hours or overnight for the ganache to set.
6. Before you take the ganache out of the fridge to roll the truffles, melt the other half of the chocolate 150 g over a double boiler. Once melted, remove from heat, add the remaining maple syrup or honey, mix in well.
7. Now you’re ready to start making truffles! Using a tablespoon, scoop out a tablespoon of ganache and place a piece of crystallized ginger in the middle. Encase the ginger and roll it quickly in the palm of your hands until you get a ball.
8. Drop the truffle into the warm melted chocolate and use two forks to roll it around until it is fully coated. Pick up the truffle with one of the forks, sliding the fork on the edge of the bowl to get rid of any excess chocolate before placing on a piece of parchment paper.
9. Continue the process for all the ganache until finished. It should make about 10 deliocious ginger chocolate truffles.
10. Refrigerate until the outer chocolate has set. Approximately 20-30 minutes. Your truffles are now ready to be enjoyed!
