CHAI RECIPES:

CHAI TRUFFLES:

Dark Chocolate Ganache interior (can be made non-dairy):

Chai Truffles

  • 1 cup heavy cream (I use non-dairy)
  • 1 3/4 cup chopped dark chocolate, or dark chocolate chips (I use non-dairy)
  • 2 teaspoons Chai Blend

Put chocolate and Chai Blend in a heat resistant bowl.

Heat the cream until it is almost hot enough to boil.  Remove it just before it begins to bubble.

Pour the hot cream over the chocolate and stir until all the chocolate is completely smooth and melted.  Cover tightly and set in the fridge until firm.

Outer Shell:

  • Melt 2 cups of Dark Chocolate (or Dark Chocolate Chips) and
  • Stir in 2 tsp of Coconut Oil

Stir until well blended and smooth.

Form a small ball of the ganache.  Unsweetened cocoa powder on your hands can help this along.

Dip each ball in the melted chocolate and set it on a rack to cool and dry.

Once dry, sprinkle with more Chai Blend as a topping.
