Healthy Raw Chocolate Truffles Recipe – Easy In The Thermomix
These raw chocolate nut truffles are just outrageously delicious.
The secret ingrediant is coconut butter and I’ve got Sarah Wilson to thank for it.
In her ebook “I Quit Sugar Cookbook’ she has the recipe for coconut butter, which is basically dried, shredded coconut milled in a blender until it is totally soft and spreadable.
I made it in the Thermomix, it doesn’t take long. A less powerful blender might take longer.
Sarah writes: ‘This is the cheapest, easiest, most nutritious and damn tastiest thing in this book.’
So I took the coconut butter as the starting point and then added in some of my favourite nuts and dried fruit.
Superfood chocolates!

I made these for the children initially. They made a bit of a special after school snack.
But I’ve also given them to teachers, taken them to dinners and scoffed them myself as sheer comfort food.
For a less healthy treat that my kids love to make themselves try this Simple Chocolate and Condensed Milk Truffle. That’s the recipe I learned at primary school just a few decades ago
Good enough to eat!
Do you have a favourite make-at-home chocolate?
Happy drizzling.
