Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup blueberry puree (fresh or thawed frozen blueberries blended smooth)
  • 1 cup plant-based cream
  • 100g dark chocolate (plant-based), chopped
  • 1 tablespoon natural gelling agent (such as agar or carrageenan)
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)
  • Blueberry powder (natural), for dusting

Optional Variations

  • Splash of fresh lemon juice or lemon zest (for citrus twist)
  • Finely chopped toasted almonds or pistachios (for nutty crunch)
  • Pinch of cinnamon or cardamom (for spiced delight)
  • Vegan white chocolate (plant-based), as chocolate substitute
  • Lavender or rosemary infused plant-based cream (for herbal infusion)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Blueberry Puree: Wash and blend fresh or thawed blueberries until smooth. Strain the puree if a seed-free texture is preferred, then set aside to cool.
  2. Heat the Cream and Maple Syrup: Gently warm the plant-based cream on the stove, then stir in maple syrup (natural) and vanilla extract (natural) until evenly combined.
  3. Add the Natural Gelling Agent: Slowly sprinkle the natural gelling agent into the warm cream mixture while whisking continuously to prevent clumps, achieving a silky smooth consistency.
  4. Combine Blueberry Puree and Chocolate: Pour the blueberry puree into the warm cream mixture and stir together. Add chopped dark chocolate (plant-based) and stir until fully melted, creating a glossy truffle base.
  5. Chill the Mixture: Transfer the mixture into a shallow dish and refrigerate until firm enough to scoop, usually a few hours or overnight for best results.
  6. Shape and Coat the Truffles: Use a spoon or small scoop to form bite-sized balls. Roll each truffle in blueberry powder (natural) or crushed nuts if desired. Place on parchment paper and refrigerate to set fully before serving.

Notes

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best flavor.
  • Do not overheat the plant-based cream to avoid breaking the mixture.
  • Chill truffles sufficiently to help maintain shape and texture.
  • Dust truffles in blueberry powder just before serving to keep the coating fresh.
  • Incorporate the natural gelling agent slowly and measure carefully for a tender but firm consistency.
