Scale

Truffle Ingredients

  • 1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter

Instructions

  1. Prepare the chickpeas: Drain and thoroughly rinse the canned chickpeas to remove any excess brine, then pat them dry with paper towels for best texture.
  2. Blend the ingredients: In a food processor or blender, combine the chickpeas, cocoa powder, maple syrup, and peanut butter. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed to ensure everything is evenly incorporated.
  3. Shape the truffles: Scoop out the mixture using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop and roll it between your palms to form bite-sized balls.
  4. Refrigerate to set: Place the truffles on a baking sheet or plate lined with parchment paper and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to firm up before serving.

Notes

  • You can substitute almond or cashew butter for peanut butter if preferred or for allergy reasons.
  • For a firmer texture, roll the truffles in cocoa powder, crushed nuts, or shredded coconut before refrigerating.
  • Store the truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
  • Optional: Add a pinch of salt or a splash of vanilla extract for extra flavor.
