ADAPTOGENIC TRUFFLES
Recipe by Tara Lanich-Labree @themedicinecircle
Ingredients for Ganache:
- 1 3/4 Cups Chopped Dark Chocolate-at least 72% (can also use chocolate chips-at least 72%)
- 1 Cup Coconut Cream or full fat milk
- 1 Teaspoon The Mind powder
- 1 Teaspoon Happiness Powder
- 1 Teaspoon Mushroom Mocha Milk
- 1 Teaspoon Adaptogenic Powder
- 1/2 Teaspoon Vanilla powder
- For the Chocolate Shell:
- 1 3/4 Cup Chopped Dark Chocolate or Chocolate Chips
- 1 tsp Coconut Oil
*Top with different magic plant dustings of Anima Mundi, such as: Rose, Matcha, Golden Milk, Blue Lotus and Butterfly pea powder. Add dry marigold, rose or calendula petals, and a sprinkling of salt.
Directions:
- Prepare your chocolate ganache. Make a double boiler or Bain Marie using a heat safe bowl set on top of a pot of gently boiling water. The water should not touch the bowl while it boils, or it will scorch the chocolate.
- Add the chopped chocolate to the bowl and warm until melting, and then add the coconut cream and powders, stirring quickly to incorporate.
- Take the bowl off the heat and add the vanilla extract.
- Place the bowl in the refrigerator for around 2 hours, or until the chocolate ganache is solid all the way through. Speed it up in the freezer for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
- Use a spoon to scoop out about a tablespoon at a time of the ganache, rolling it in your hands placing on a parchment-lined baking sheet. You will get messy, so you can rinse your hands every 3-4 truffles or wear disposable gloves if needed.
- Once all the truffles are rolled, place them back in the freezer to harden.
- If you want to skip the coating, you can roll them in cinnamon, cocoa powder, or just enjoy them as is!
- Prepare the coating by adding the chocolate to a double boiler again. Warm it and add the coconut oil. You can also microwave the coating in 10 second increments to melt.
- Remove the truffles from the freezer and dip each one in the chocolate coating, placing them on a parchment-lined sheet to harden.
- Sprinkle with plant powders, finishing salt and/or edible flowers.
