Chocolate Bliss Truffles

06.06.2009

My son recently introduced me to a sensational product I just have to share with you.  What a name and what a delicious nutritious food.  It is raw – but don’t let that stop you from trying it.  This super tasting drink is just that super food.  In a base of richly flavored raw cacao powder are some of the highest antioxidant, phyto-nutrient, vitamin and mineral rich foods.  Who’d ever guess something this scrumptious is so awesome for your body.

It’s called Chocolate Bliss.  Simple and quick to make for a fast breakfast drink, but it has good staying power.

Of course I had to try and make truffles with the mix.  They are simple to make and can replace a drink for an equally portable breakfast or pick-me-up snack.

You can double, triple, etc. the recipe:

½ cup Sunfire Super Foods Chocolate BlissTM

¼ cup + 1 scant tablespoon Vanilla AgaveTM

Yes, that’s all.  Two ingredients.  More like seeing a universe in a grain of sand. (Apologies to William Blake.)

Whirl Chocolate Bliss powder in processor to make into a uniform powder and break open the whole seeds.  Don’t process more than 90 seconds at a time and allow the powder to cool between processing to maintain nutritional integrity of the Bliss.

Add Vanilla Agave and process until agave is incorporated into Bliss powder and forms a ball.  Place “dough” in bowl and allow it to sit and absorb the agave.   Portion out 2 – 3 teaspoon portions.  Dip in finely ground raw cacao powder and roll into balls.  Roll again in additional raw cacao powder.  They are ready to eat.  These will be highly perishable (if they last that long) so cover to keep the air out and refrigerate.

The Divine Nutrition website has some great information on these and additional super foods that can energize your life.  http://www.rawfooddiet-holistichealth.com/

P.S I just ordered 5 pounds of the mix and some of their other products.   I don’t sell their products – just had to share this great find with you.

Editing Dark Chocolate Sugar-free Truffles

Hi and Welcome to Healthy Chocolate.

Wine and Chocolate Truffles, Handcrafted with Love

Wine and Chocolate Truffles, Handcrafted with Love

I’ve just learned to “Twitter!” Didn’t even know what it was – I thought it was just for the birds.  Chocolate twitter…Sweet.

What’s sweet is using natural alternative sweeteners like blue agave nectar or xylitol with dark unsweetened chocolate to make healthier treats like chocolate truffles,  It would take you months to try all the flavors I’ve created recipes for.

It’s a fairly typical Pacific Northwest kind of day, complete with liquid sunshine.  Just the sort of day for chocolate.  I’m in the process of editing my latest book - The Splendid Indulgence of Chocolate Truffles.

Right now, I’m working on dark chocolate sugar-free truffles in a variety of flavors - all very low in carbs and gluten free.

Wine and Chocolate!  My hobbies go so well together.
