I am stuck in the house. Too poor to do anything fun and very bored. So, what to do? Make truffles, of course! I found a fantastic vegan truffle recipe which uses cashew cream in place of traditional heavy cream. My roommate has a Vita Mixer so the cashews were no match, and in seconds I had cashew cream! I doctored the recipe a bit by adding a tablespoon of coffee. When the mixture was chilled, I used a melon baller to get equally sized chunks, rolled them by hand, and coated them in toasted coconut, cocoa powder, and regular coconut flakes. The coconut flakes are admittedly sweetened, but I often don't eat my own desserts anyway. You could easily make this entirely-sugar free by using unsweetened flakes.
I did save two truffles for myself and plan to indulge later tonight. A little sweetened coconut won't hurt, I suppose.
Aren't they cute?!
