{Makes 2 to 3 dozen truffles}<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Pure indulgence! These mouthwatering little bites will win the hearts of even the most die-hard cooked foodists. Have some fun with this recipe and use a variety of silicone molds in different shapes: Try stars for the Fourth of July, animal shapes for kids, and hearts for Valentine’s Day.<\/span><\/p>\n

By the way, chocolate melts at under 100 F, so the chocolate itself in commercial chocolate usually is raw, but eh fillers they add (milk, sugar, and wax) are not.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ingredients:<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

1 cup raw cashews, soaked<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00bd cup water<\/span><\/p>\n

1 cup raw cacao powder<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00be cup melted raw coconut oil<\/span><\/p>\n

1 tablespoon alcohol-free vanilla extract<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00bd cup raw honey or raw agave nectar<\/span><\/p>\n

Combine all the ingredients in a high-speed blender and blend until smooth.<\/b><\/p>\n

Spoon the mixture into silicone mini-ice cube trays and freeze for about 2 hours, until solid. Then pop the truffles out of the trays. Serve immediately, or place in a freezer bad and store in the freezer until you’re ready to eat them.<\/b><\/p>\n

Alternatively, line 2 baking sheets with wax paper or a silicone mat. Spoon the mixture into a pastry bag and squeeze out little mounds over the baking sheets. Place the sheets in the freezer for about 2 hours, until solid, and then serve immediately or store them in a freezer bag.<\/b><\/p>\n

Pastry Bag in a Pinch<\/span><\/p>\n

If you don’t have a pastry bag, this method works just as well: Spoon the mixture into a heavy-duty zip-top plastic bag, steal it, and snip a tiny hole in one corner. Squeeze away.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
