- In addition to changing the cookies, try using different types of chocolate. Dark, milk, and white chocolate have different flavors and will make amazing subs.
- Replace the strawberry powder with regular cocoa powder, vanilla powder, or any other powdered ingredient of your choice.
- To add some extra pizzazz to your truffles, add sprinkles, crushed nuts or a drizzle of chocolate.
storage
No-bake chocolate truffles are usually stored in the refrigerator or freezer. Chocolate truffles will keep for up to 2 weeks in the refrigerator and up to 6 months in the freezer as long as they are stored in an airtight container. Let the frozen truffles thaw for 10 minutes before eating, or you can eat them straight from the fridge. If you leave chocolate truffles on the counter, they will start to melt and the texture and flavor of the truffles will start to change, so I do not recommend storing them on the countertop.
Chocolate Truffles FAQs
Should I grind my cookies in the food processor?
No, you do not need to use a food processor to crush your cookies. Although this makes it easier and ensures they are finely ground, if you don’t have a food processor, you can grind them by hand or in a blender. Just make sure the pieces aren’t too big for the truffle.
What size should the truffles be?
Typically, truffles are about 2 tablespoons in size. A cookie scoop makes a wonderful truffle scoop! If you don’t have a cookie scoop, a regular kitchen spoon will also do the trick.
What kind of chocolate should I use?
There are no restrictions in this recipe, so you can use any vegan chocolate you like in this recipe. Chocolate chips are also acceptable. Whatever chocolate you choose, make sure it’s of high quality to ensure it melts properly.
Can I serve vegan chocolate truffles at room temperature?
No, chocolate truffles are best served cold. As the chocolate begins to heat and melt, the truffles will lose their rich, creamy texture.
Would coconut cream work in place of heavy cream in this recipe?
Yes! Coconut cream is a great alternative to heavy cream. The coconut cream will add a hint of coconut flavor and the texture of the truffle will still be creamy.
