- Keep mixing till the butter, agave and sugar are well combined and flowy.3-5 minutes.
- Add the chocolate chips and keep mixing to melt. Take off heat and mix well. If the mixture feels too stiff, add a Tablespoon or more, of coconut milk or coconut creamer, and combine very well.(Or add a bit of Rum!)
- Taste carefully (the mixture will be hot) and adjust spices and sugar and mix. let cool for a few minutes.
- Make balls when mixture is warm and not completely cooled, and roll them in the sugar spice mix. Use less or more spice per preference. You can also coat them in melted chocolate with ginger bread spices mixed in the chocolate, and top with thin candied ginger strips.
- Store in a cool place and eat within 3 days. These can also be refrigerated or frozen.

December 23, 2011 at 1:52 amThese look INCREDIBLE. I adore making truffles like these, but have never used a significant amount of chocolate in mine. Love it!
Madeleine says
December 10, 2014 at 7:28 pmHello Richa. I want to make these ahead of time and freeze them but I’m not sure whether I should coat in powdered sugar first. I’m worried that during the unfreezing process it will be absorbed into the truffle. What do you think?
Richa says
December 11, 2014 at 12:53 amyes it will get absorbed. you can coat them and freeze and coat again before serving.
Alexandra says
December 14, 2019 at 7:38 pmHi Richa, I just made these with Tahini and they curdled! Can I save them?
I followed the recipe – is it the tahini factor?
Thanks!
Richa says
December 14, 2019 at 8:15 pmmost likely. What do you mean by curdled?
Alexandra De Vylder says
December 14, 2019 at 8:51 pmSeparated – you know how truffles separate if not done properly?
I didn’t whisk it as it heated, or put it in a heatproof bowl. I’ll try to save it and let you know if it works.
Alexandra says
December 17, 2019 at 2:18 amIt didn’t combine over heat and whisking, so I made it into brownies! Turned out alright.

December 20, 2020 at 9:35 amThese truffles are truly unique and perfect for the holidays. I am giving some to my friends and family for Xmas! Mine was too soft and sticky when warm so I chilled for a couple of hours before forming and this worked fine. Also works fine to roll in regular instead of powdered sugar and looks a little prettier. Thank you!
