If you enjoy chocolate with orange flavour, you will love these truffles. They are creamy, rich, and have a nice orangy flavour. You can prepare them in advance and store them in the fridge or freezer for when you want to enjoy them. We rolled the truffles in different coatings to make them colourful and festive looking, but you can also use only cocoa powder.

I was wondering if i want to make them for a gift, could they stay under the Christmas tree for a couple of hours or will they melt?

Hi there, Stephanie! Awe, such a thoughtful gift idea 🎄 These truffles are fairly soft since they’re made with a chocolate-cream filling, so they will start to soften if kept at room temperature for too long. That said, they should be perfectly fine sitting under the Christmas tree for a couple of hours, as long as the room isn’t very warm and they’re well packaged (for example, in a box or tin).
If you want to be extra safe, you could keep them chilled until just before gifting, or store them somewhere cool and bring them out closer to gift time. Hope this helps, and happy gifting 💛

These are a staple in my house. I usually make half the recipe because they’re very rich.

These were an absolute hit with my non-vegan family. I tripled the recipe and they were all gone within the day. One change I made—I couldn’t find dried raspberries, so one of my varieties was a dried mango-coconut topping. So creamy, delicious and beautiful!

We're so happy they were a hit, Sarah, what a compliment! The mango-coconut topping sounds incredible 🙌

I have the mix in the fridge but I will roll them in a couple of days. Can I already cover them with the toppings or should I wait until we eat them? Mix is delicious by the way!

Hey there, Andrés, you can roll and cover the truffles with the toppings now and refrigerate them until you're ready to enjoy. Coating when ready to enjoy them will also work, so it's whichever you prefer. They stay fresh in the fridge for up to 5 days 🤗

So delicious, I just added a pinch of salt to bring out the flavors more. All together so yummy!
