Vegan chocolate truffles

• dark chocolate↗200g dairy-free g

  finely chopped

• plant-based milk↗100ml ml

  (we used oat)

• caster sugar↗1 tbsp tbsp
• vanilla extract↗1 tsp tsp
• cocoa powder↗2 tbsp tbsp

Step-by-step instructions

1. 1

   Put the chocolate in a medium heatproof bowl. Tip the milk, sugar and vanilla into a small saucepan, then bring to the boil over a medium heat, stirring occasionally.

2. 2

   Pour the hot milk mixture over the chocolate, leave to sit for 1 min, then stir until the chocolate has melted and the mix is smooth. Cover and chill for 4 hrs until set.

3. 3

   Roll teaspoons of the mixture into balls using your hands, then transfer to a small baking tray or plate – you may like to wear gloves. You should have about 20 balls.

4. 4

   Put the cocoa powder on a shallow plate, and roll the chilled truffles in it until well-coated, tapping off any excess, if needed. Chill until you’re ready to gift. Will keep in the fridge for up to four days.
