Dairy free Chocolate time!


What is the hardest part about being dairy free around the holidays? Not getting to eat the chocolate!

I discovered to very good recipes! Very simple to make.

Truffles:

8 oz semi sweet chocolate

2/3 cup soy creamer

1/4 butter

1 tbsp vanilla

about 2 cups dipping chocolate for coating

Place chocolate in heat proof bowl. In saucepan, heat cream with butter just until butter melts and bubbles form around edge of pan. Pour over chocolate; whisk until smooth. Whisk in vanilla. Place in a mold and chill.

In a double boiler melt dipping chocolate. add truffles one at a time working very quickly, dip in to make sure it is fully coated. Place on  a sheet of wax paper. Chill to set the chocolate.

 

Fruit and nut chocolate:

2 cups dipping chocolate

1/4 cu cranberries

1/4 cup raisins

1/2 cup silvered almonds

In a double boiler melt chocolate, add the fruit and nuts. Place in a mould and chill.

I store my chocolate in the freezer…. if there is any left by the time I clean up 🙂
