Vegan Truffles with almond puree
*Ingredients needed*
150gr dark chocolate (70% cacao at least)
100gr of almond puree (like the tahini but with almonds)
1 big spoon of honey
1 big spoon of pralin (mix of hazelnuts and brown sugar)
1 big spoon of sugar free cacao
To decorate the truffles, we used sesame seeds, pistachios, nuts, hazelnuts, cacao, coco seeds and praliné!
Melt the chocolate (au bain-marie) in a bowl clean and dry.
Once out of the fire, mix the almond puree and the honey and add the melted chocolate.
Cool down and put in the fridge for 1 hour.
After this time, and with your hands ( freshened with cold water), take half a spoon of the chocolate preparation and do a circle form.
Prepare a few plates to separate the pralin, the cacao, the sesame, the pistachios, etc.
Roll the balls in one of the plates.
You can conserve the truffles in a fresh place for one week. Remember to remove them of the fridge a few minutes before serving.
Enjoy!
