Making your own vegan chocolate in molds at home is a fun and rewarding process, even for beginners. Start with melted vegan chocolate and pour it into silicone or metal molds. Silicone molds are particularly beginner-friendly because they make removing the chocolates easy without breaking them. You can find molds in various shapes, from classic rounds to festive hearts, perfect for Valentine’s Day.

You can present these truffles in decorative tins, heart-shaped boxes, or even small glass jars tied with ribbons for a personal touch. Easy to prepare, they are not only delicious but also fun to make, adding a handmade charm to your Valentine’s Day celebration. These truffles are a sweet way to show someone you care while keeping things vegan.

Ingredients

150 g dark chocolate melted
2 tbsp coconut oil
1 pinch of salt
80 g crushed bran sticks
60 g walnuts plus a few extra nuts for the decoration
150 g white or dark chocolate for the coating melted

Instructions

Start by melting the dark chocolate until smooth. In a mixing bowl, combine the melted chocolate with the coconut oil and a pinch of salt, stirring until well blended.
Add the bran sticks and walnuts to a food processor and process until broken down into a sand-like texture.
Fold the bran mix into the melted chocolate mixture and combine everything together gently until evenly distributed.
Divide into 15 chocolate molds or chill the mix for 5 minutes, divide into truffles using a spoon and roll them into truffle-sized balls. Chill in the fridge until set. In the meantime, melt the rest of the chocolate for the decoration.
Once set, coat each chocolate truffle in melted chocolate. Allow for any excess to drip off and place the truffles onto a lined tray. Decorate with a piece of walnut placed on top of each truffle before the chocolate sets, then transfer the tray into the fridge to set. Place the balls onto a parchment-lined tray, leaving a bit of space between each one.
After setting for at least 30 minutes, the truffles are ready to serve and enjoy.
