    Vegan Chocolate Caramel Truffles

    Apr 10, 2015 • Chocolate, Festive/Holidays, Luteal Phase, Menstrual Phase, Sweets

    Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

    MAGICAL Vegan Chocolate Caramel Truffles - only 4 ingredients and no bake with gooey date caramel, drenched in melted vegan chocolate! #vegan #glutenfree 

    Be prepared to indulge.

    Although, it may be hard to stop!

    For anyone with a sweet tooth and for anyone following a vegan diet, you may agree with me in that finding vegan sweets is no easy task. I’m not talking Oreo’s or twizzler’s or any treats that are loaded with processed ingredients. I’m talking natural ingredients that we can feel good about. Right?! 

    Luckily, this can easily be fixed with 4 simple ingredients. You probably have them already too. 

    gooey medjool dates.
    creamy sunflower seed butter. (or any nut butter)
    sea salt.
    vegan chocolate chips.

    That’s all you need for these Vegan Chocolate Caramel Truffles. It’s SO simple.

    The “caramel” is actually date caramel which is life-changing on it’s own. When you blend gooey medjool dates, they magically form into a caramel-like sticky mixture and taste like the real deal. No wonder they are known as nature’s candy! Dates are magical little things.

Use a tablespoon to scoop out truffle shapes, sprinkle with fine-grain sea salt and freeze.

    Drench the truffle balls in melted vegan chocolate.

    Ingredients

    Scale
    • 2 cups medjool dates (soft and gooey)
    • 2 tablespoons sunflower seed butter (or any nut butter)
    • sea salt, to taste (for sprinkling; optional)
    • 1 cup vegan chocolate chips (like the Earth Balance) brand

    Instructions

    1. If your medjool dates are not soft, soak them in warm water for 15 minutes and drain.
    2. Blend the dates in a food processor or high-speed blender, pulsing until it turns into a caramel-like mixture.
    3. Add the sunflower seed butter and pulse until well combined.
    4. On a piece of parchment paper, scoop out the “date caramel” truffles with a tablespoon. You will have between 10-12 truffle balls. Sprinkle each truffle with a bit of sea salt (optional).
    5. Place in the freezer for 30-45 minutes to set.
    6. Meanwhile, melt the vegan chocolate chips.
    7. Once the truffles are set, remove from the freezer and drench them in melted chocolate with a spoon. Freeze again for 5 minutes for the chocolate to set.
    8. Enjoy!!

what are you guys up to today?! I’m installing our new shower filter that I can’t wait to share about, running errands, cleaning, thinking about dinner, the usual Sunday things 💗💗💗
    HANDLE NAME CHANGE!! I’ve been wanting to do th HANDLE NAME CHANGE!!

I’ve been wanting to do this for a while as a fresh start with all the changes to my “brand” in the last year. It feels right to just use my name 😀 (fun fact: I haven’t taken my hubbys last name yet because of business paperwork that I’m too lazy to figure out 😅 name changes are complicated) 

@theglowingfridge started out of my love for the plant based lifestyle but so much has changed in the last 9 years and I’ve been itching to update. Nothing else will change and my blog will still remain as is, if you still use my recipes and such. Love you all and thank you for supporting me through all these changes 🤍🤍🤍

When my blood sugar is on a nasty rollercoaster, I’m not the best mama that I know I should be for my girl. I’m more irritable and short. So I prioritize protein, healthy fats and carbs at each meal. This helps me feel balanced and provides energy to play and chase after her all day! I need all the fuel I can get.

- collagen king coffee ☁️

- swedish meatballs & gf pasta & green beans

    I don’t get ready everyday… But when I do I f I don’t get ready everyday…

But when I do I feel better, duh! And more confident. More productive. Happier in general. Of course I have super lazy days but I try to get myself together because I’m more likely to leave the house, you know mamas? I hate when people ask “why do you get ready if you’re home all day”.. 

I’m sharing different content like this because I feel like it and don’t want to be stuck in a box 😀

    I mean if you drink it everyday… It should be o I mean if you drink it everyday…

It should be organic, mold-free, tested for mycotoxins and taste delicious, etc. King coffee goes a step further with a therapeutic dose of reishi spores, the most powerful and potent part of reishi mushroom! Most other companies use the lucidum part of reishi, in case you’re wondering 👑

    passes & smashes for gut healing ❤️‍🩹 I passes & smashes for gut healing ❤️‍🩹

I have many more passes too.. extreme diets, too many supplements, gluten, juice cleanses, eating too fast and not chewing enough.. the list goes on!

Gut healing takes a multi-faceted approach and it’s never just one supplement to heal or one thing to do.

It takes time, patience and grace! And working alongside a practitioner you feel called to 🙏🏼
