These truffles are an absolute luxury and a definite crowd-pleaser – the right crowd of course ;) since these diary-free truffles have a slight adult taste. The combination of Grand Marnier and chocolate is a classic, as the liquor adds depth to the dark chocolate that I and many with me really enjoy. Adding a splash of alcohol to any truffle or chocolate recipe is a sure way to elevate the flavour.
Should you prefer a recipe for vegan truffles without soy I have a ganache recipe purely based on coconut milk over here.
Ingredients
100 grams of good quality dark chocolate, at least 70%
75 ml soya whipping cream (slightly sweetened)
For Flavour
1 tsp cinnamon powder
2 tsp bourbon vanilla powder
2 pinches of Himalayan pink salt
A splash of Grand Manier ( I use approx 1 tbsp)
For Making The Truffles
Cacao powder
Directions
Break apart the chocolate into small pieces
Melt the chocolate using a water bath
Once the chocolate is melted, gently add a small amount of the soya cream while stirring, on low, even heat
Once the ganache is even and glossy, add the spices, salt and a slash of Grand Marnier to your own liking and stir
Remove the pot from the heat
Pour into a ceramic or glass bowl and store in the fridge overnight
For making truffles
Add cacao powder to a plate
Slice the truffles into evenly sized squares
Add the squares to the plate with the cacao powder, and cover in cacao powder
