soup truffles!

Well wonder of wonders, here are two new truffle recipes inspired by my new neighborhood:

(left)

Wasabi Truffles

chocolate, melted

coconut milk

coconut oil

powdered wasabi (check your wasabi, some of the pastes have gluten and all sorts of weird-sounding preservatives in them, plus SO much green!)

salt

toasted black sesame seeds

mix all together to taste

freeze

thaw slightly and roll into truffle balls

(right)

Tom Yum Truffles

chocolate, melted

coconut oil

coconut milk

water

kaffir lime leaves

fresh lemongrass

salt

chili flakes

chili oil

sesame oil (just a dash)

toasted coconut flakes

melt chocolate

add lemongrass, lime leaves, salt, chili and oils to coconut milk, and heat for ages (until it tastes like the lime leaves)

mix with chocolate and coconut oil

freeze

follow as before

with both batches, i melted more chocolate with coconut oil and rolled the refrozen truffles in it to coat, then topped them with sesame seeds and coconut flakes.

mmmmm
