2 MIN READ • 24th April 2019

Simple, quick and a great way to get your chocolate fix

Geeta Sidhu-Robb quit her job as a corporate lawyer and retrained as a nutritionist in a bid to nurse her critically ill son. She proceeded to set up the UK’s first home detox delivery service, Nosh Detox (noshdetox.com). As well as this, she learnt how to provide a nutritious, balanced and safe diet for her son. Here are just a few of her delicious vegan recipes to try out.

3 Super Simple Vegan Recipes To Try Out

VEGAN TRUFFLES
Ingredients:

  • 125 grams vegan dark chocolate
  • 95 grams coconut milk
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon espresso powder
  • 2 teaspoons maple syrup
  • pinch of sea salt
  • cocoa powder, for coating

Method:
Break the chocolate into pieces and place chocolate in a bowl. In a small saucepan, heat coconut milk on low heat until it comes to a full simmer. Do not let it boil. Then, take off the heat and pour hot coconut milk over broken chocolate. Let sit for a minute or two. After sitting, stir with a spatula until all the chocolate has melted and you have a smooth chocolate ganache.Add vanilla, espresso powder, maple syrup, sea salt and liquor (if using), to the ganache. Stir well.

Chill your bowl of ganache in the refrigerator until the ganache has thickened, about 2-3 hours. Stir every 30 minutes or so to ensure it chills evenly.

Once firm, using a teaspoon, scoop out portions of ganache and roll into balls with clean, cool hands.

If your palms start to get warm and messy, wash your hands before continuing. Roll truffles in cocoa powder to coat.
