Popular Substitutions & Additions 

• To customize your chocolate truffles, try using a variety of ground cookies. Use Oreos, shortbread cookies, graham crackers, or even ginger snaps. Have fun with it and come up with your own favorite flavor combination.
• In addition to changing up the cookies, try using different types of chocolate. Dark, milk, and white chocolate all have different flavors and would make amazing substations. 
• Replace the strawberry powder with ordinary cocoa powder, vanilla powder, or any other powdered ingredient you like.
• To add some extra pizazz to your truffles, add sprinkles, crushed nuts, or a drizzle of chocolate. 

Storage

No-bake chocolate truffles are typically stored in the refrigerator or freezer. Chocolate truffles will keep in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks and for up to 6 months in the freezer as long as they are stored in an airtight container. Allow frozen truffles to thaw for 10 minutes before eating, or you can eat them straight from the fridge. If you leave chocolate truffles out on the counter, they will begin to melt, and the texture and taste of the truffles will start to change, so I don't recommend storing them on the countertop.

Chocolate Truffles FAQs

Do I have to crush my cookies in the food processor?

No, you don't have to use a food processor to crush your cookies.  While it does make it easier and makes sure that they are finely ground, you can also crush them by hand or in a blender if you don't have a food processor. Just make sure that the pieces are not too big for the truffles.

What size should truffles be?

Typically, truffles are about the size of 2 tablespoons. A cookie scoop also makes an excellent truffle scoop! A regular kitchen spoon will also do the trick if you don't have a cookie scoop.

What type of chocolate should I use?

There are no limits on this recipe, so you may use any vegan chocolate you like in this recipe. Chocolate chips are also acceptable. Whatever chocolate you pick, be sure it's of high quality to ensure that it melts correctly.

Can I serve vegan chocolate truffles at room temperature?

No, chocolate truffles are best served cold. When the chocolate begins to warm up and melt, the truffles will lose their rich, creamy texture.

Will coconut cream work in place of heavy cream in this recipe?

Yes! Coconut cream is an excellent alternative to heavy cream. The coconut cream will add a hint of coconut flavor, and the texture of the truffles will still be creamy.
