Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by draining and rinsing one can of chickpeas under cold water. Melt 1 cup of vegan dark chocolate chips mixed with 1 tablespoon of coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl.
  2. In a food processor, combine rinsed chickpeas, ½ cup nut or seed butter, and half of the melted chocolate. Blend until smooth and creamy.
  3. Using a cookie scoop, portion out the blended batter onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Freeze for 15-20 minutes until firm.
  4. Roll each portion into smooth balls and freeze for another 10 minutes.
  5. Dip each truffle into the remaining melted chocolate, ensuring even coating, and place back on the parchment-lined baking sheet.
  6. Freeze again for about 10 minutes or until the chocolate coating is hardened. Store in an airtight container.
