Submitted to the healthy eating site One Green Planet, this orange pecan truffle dish is a healthy alternative to the traditional truffle dessert.
Made with 100% vegan and gluten-free ingredients, this truffle recipe replaces the usual bittersweet chocolate and heavy cream with dehydrated pecans, orange zest and organic coconut oil. Similar to a usual truffle recipe, this one also includes vanilla extract but expands the sweetness with a 1/8 teaspoon of cinnamon. With all these ingredients, it has been said that this batch of truffles features "so many layers of flavor" that it is likely you'll forget it is so healthy.
Though this orange pecan truffle recipe is vegan-friendly, this dessert can be enjoyed by all audiences.
