To Love: Decadent Dairy-Free Chocolate Truffles

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.

I love thee to the depth and breadth and height

My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight

For the ends of Being and ideal Grace.

I love thee to the level of everyday's

Most quiet need, by sun and candle-light.

I love thee freely, as men strive for Right;

I love thee purely, as they turn from Praise.

I love thee with a passion put to use

In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith.

I love thee with a love I seemed to lose

With my lost saints, --- I love thee with the breath,

Smiles, tears, of all my life! --- and, if God choose,

I shall but love thee better after death.

~ Elizabeth Barrett Browning

Just melt the chocolate, chill and make the truffles...and you donot need a special day like Valentine's Day to make these. On any day made and filled love, these truffles are always welcomed :-). Enjoy.

Adapted from Vegetarian Times

Makes around 10-12 truffles, depending on the size

Ingredients:

3 oz. high-quality dark chocolate (60% cocoa), finely chopped (I used my favorite brand - Ghirardelli)
1/8 cup walnut, almond or canola oil (I used canola oil)
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa
1/4 cup finely chopped pecans and walnuts 
1/4 cup unsweetened coconut flakes

Preparation:

1. Place chocolate, oil and 1/6 cup (8 teaspoons) of water in microwave-safe bowl. Heat on HIGH in microwave for 30 seconds. Stir. Heat 30 seconds more, or until chocolate has melted. Whisk until smooth. Cover with plastic wrap and chill 6 hours, or overnight. (I kept it overnight)

2. Place cocoa, coconut flakes and nuts on separate plates. Shape truffle mixture by heaping teaspoonfuls into small, 3/4-inch balls. Roll in cocoa or chopped nuts or coconut flakes. Chill until ready to serve.

Hope you all had a wonderful V'day, yesterday.

until next time,
