Servings15 truffles

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.
