Decadent chocolate truffles

18/4/2014

Roll with it this easter with decadent chocolate truffles!

What you'll need:
1 tablespoon of raw cocoa powder or 85%+ cocoa powder (I used 97% Green and Black's organic cocoa powder)
A drop of water
80g of fine oats
1 heaped tablespoon of ground nuts or seeds (choose your favourites) I used ground hazelnuts and chia seeds in one batch and shelled ground hemp seeds in another. Both good.
2 tablespoons of coconut oil (gently melted in a pan)
4 teaspoons of xylitol
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract

Mix all ingredients in a bowl and form into balls of chocolatey goodness. Place into truffle cases and let to set for at least 4 hours (or overnight in air tight container preferably).

Hi Mrs. McEvoy. Lovely to hear from you and really pleased that you like my truffles. If you are based in Edinburgh, Natural Foods Etc. on Clerk Street where I have my clinic sells xylitol or you can find it in any health food store. It's usually around £2.50 a bag and lasts quite a while.

Hello Mary,

Thank you for getting back to me so quickly. That's wonderful, I'll be popping into Natural Foods Etc for my xylitol tomorrow.

I love your health recipes and so does my husband - so tasty and easy to prepare.

Thanks again,

Mrs. McEvoy
