VEGAN DARK CHOCOLATE TRUFFLES

VEGAN DARK CHOCOLATE TRUFFLES

Simple to make but rich and complex in flavour, the success of a dark chocolate truffle always tends to rest on the quality of the chocolate being used by the baker. Luckily, this recipe uses Nomad’s 72% Dark Chocolate Buttons, which are sourced from the finest cacao on the planet. Smooth and creamy these truffles are – to the surprise of many – free of dairy, gluten, and soy, making them the perfect vegan chocolate dessert.
