You can spend a fortune in a specialty store for truffles like these, but why throw your money away?

Well, the secret got out that you could actually make them at home. There is no baking with this Kahlua truffles recipe either, so that is a bonus.

Remember when chocolate truffles first came out? They were so elegant and expensive! Still are, for that matter.

By the way, did you know you could make your own homemade Kahlua? It’s so easy and there are only four ingredients. There is some time in letting it set but so very worth it.

Moving on back to truffles … you really do need to make these Chocolate Kahlua Truffles.

You’ll impress your friends and family and, heck, you’ll impress yourself while you’re at it. They are wonderful!

Ingredients

  • Chocolate Graham Crackers- Make everything so good with their chocolate flavor and crunch.
  • Powdered Soy Milk– They now have powdered coconut milk. There may be others too.
  • Dairy-Free Milk- Adds flavor and necessary liquid.
  • Kahlua- Pretty much goes without saying, but the coffee liqueur flavor addition is delicious.
  • Dates- A wonderful sweetener, and they add a nice texture too.
  • Pecans- Finely chop for the covering of the Kahlua chocolate truffles.

Instructions

  • Process the pecans fine, as these are what the finished balls will be rolled in. You may use any ground nut or seed that you like.
  • Crush the chocolate graham crackers into a fine grain or, more easily, put them in a food processor and grind.
  • Put the crushed graham crackers in a large bowl and add the dry soy milk. There are other varieties since I made this recipe.
  • Stir in dairy-free milk and Kahlua. Any of your favorites will do. Just make sure it isn’t a sweetened or vanilla variety.
  • Mix until all is moistened. It will take less than a minute.
  • Stir in the finely chopped dates.
  • Divide the dough in half and then each half again and continue until you have 48 balls.
  • They are sticky as you divide, but when you roll the truffles in the palms of your hands, they do not stick at all.
  • Roll the truffle balls into the finely ground pecans.
  • All done. Store leftover Kahlua chocolate truffles in an airtight container in the fridge.

    We don’t care much for dates.., any substitution ideas?

    1. Ginny McMeans Avatar

      That is a hard one. I do’t think this recipe can have a substitution – raisins would be the closest. The dates hold the truffles together and add their sweetness.

    Would love a suggestion for soy milk powder. I hace to order rare ingredients like this online and it wont arrive in time for xmas…

    1. Ginny McMeans Avatar

      I think almond meal flour would work well Lisa. It is in all the grocery stores now. Usually by Bob’s Red Mill or Arrowhead Mills, others too.

    This recipe sounds delish! But do you know a way to make them gluten-free?
    I have an allergic reaction when I eat certain things with wheat in them. Graham crackers is one of those. I love them but they don’t love me.

    1. Ginny McMeans Avatar

      I haven’t found chocolate gluten free graham crackers yet. They have oat ones on amazon but not chocolate. You could buy any chocolate gluten free cookie that you like and crush them. Not ones with fillings though.
