You Will Need (6 things)

  • 2 cup Vegan Chocolate Chips
  • ½ cup Red Wine
  • 2 tbsp Non Dairy Milk
  • ¼ cup Vegan Margarine
  • 2 Bowl(s) : one for the ingredients and one for a water and ice bath
  • Cocoa Powder

Steps (8 steps, 60 minutes)

  1. 1

    Melt the chocolate, wine, and milk together in a double boiler over medium heat or in a glass bowl in the microwave, then pour into the first bowl. Stir until completely smooth, then set aside for 5 minutes.

  2. 2

    Fill the other bowl with ice and about 1 cup (235 ml) water.

  3. 3

    Place the bowl filled with the melted chocolate into the ice bath. Using electric beaters on high speed, start whipping up the chocolate evenly around the bowl. Add the margarine and continue whipping.

  4. 4

    You will see bubbles forming everywhere, and the chocolate mixture will start to thicken up to the consistency of heavy cream after a few minutes. Continue whipping until the consistency becomes very thick, then stop. Over whipping could cause the filling to become soft and collapse, or become grainy.

  5. 5

    Place the bowl in the refrigerator and let chill and thicken.

  6. 6

    Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat and pour some cocoa powder into a shallow bowl.

  7. 7

    Using a small cookie scoop, make balls that are about 1 inch (2.5 cm) in diameter, then roll in the cocoa powder and place on the baking sheet.

  8. 8

    Place the tray of rolled truffles in the refrigerator for at least one hour, then eat! Keep stored in refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
