5-Ingredient White Chocolate Truffles

Absolutely delicious!

White Chocolate Truffles are AMAZING!!
I have changed the recipe a little. Made the original but macadamia nuts are not something I always have on hand, but raw cashews I have! So subbed raw cashews for mac’s. Used coconut oil, melted, for cocoa butter. I also make my own vanilla X with Gosling Rum, which I used. I can’t say how wonderful these are. Taste just like Raffella!! I also make my balls smaller; about an inch.
Minimalist Baker is my favorite site!!!
So many great recipes.
Thanks for being so amazing and sharing.

Hi, I made these a few times now and LOVE them. I exchanged cashews for the macadamias which worked nicely too. I added Birch sugar which was super tasty and even tried adding hemp seeds. Thank you for this recipe, it satisfies ALL of my sweet cravings!

These were soo yummy!! The hubby didn’t even realize they were vegan and had no actual chocolate in them! I love coconut so when I saw these, I knew I had to give them a try. I’m so glad I did! I even left some plain as is without the extra covering of coconut flakes and they were still delicious!! Great recipe! Thank you for sharing! ☺️💕

I misread the recipe and used coconut butter instead of cocoa butter, so maybe my experience can be totally chalked up to that, but these didn’t hit the white chocolate spot for me. They were good but not at all what I was expecting and not white chocolate-y, but still a nice coconut-y treat. I rolled mine in hemp hearts as they already taste mostly like coconut and I didn’t want to add anymore, and they look cute.

It’s a really good healthy vegan version of a Rafaello. I made it twice alredy :)
Although I would love a substitude for the sugar?

Just made this recipe first time. Some alterations.
Pre-grinded coconut for the inside in a coffee grinder. No vanille but condensated milk flavour worked great. End result is a bit soft (maybe the water in the flavouring) and slightly gritty still, but great flavour.
Best modification: instead of coconut coating, I made mix of ground of cardamom, anis seeds and cinnamon + white sesame seeds. Then the whole thing turned awesome.
Thanks!

This has become a go to recipe for me as a former white chocolate lover who now avoids dairy. So yummy! I sub cashews for the macadamias, use 3 drops liquid stevia to sweeten, omit the vanilla (unless I have an alcohol free vanilla or vanilla powder on hand, I don’t like the taste of vanilla w alcohol in uncooked treats) and add the pinch of salt. I love that they have limited hands on time. The texture and taste are so amazing. My kids love them too- great way to get some calories into them on active or growth spurt days!

Used cashews and it did NOT work! Never turned creamy even when I put the melted cocoa butter in.

Doubt it would work even with macadamias… they don’t have that extremely more amounts of fats. It’s really very dry and coconut crumbly and would never form balls :( unless you have a professional grade good processor maybe, mine is pretty powerful though.

Would probably have worked better soaking the nuts before

Crappy recipe! Thanks for wasting my cocoa butter… :(

The idea is good but the recipe is not there… Sorry, Dana, but it’s the flavour and the texture that could be better.

I never leave comments but this was a spectacular recipe and hard not to eat the whole batch the day I made them! I was skeptical at first when the batter form because it was so wet. An hour in the fridge was not enough and I was sure I just ruined 10 dollars worth of pricey ingredients. I am pleased to report after 3 hours, it set and the batter was scoopable.
I subbed raw cashews for 3/4 c of coconut because I didn’t have enough coconut for the entire recipe. I will be making this again and will follow recipe accordingly with coconut and wonder how that might effect texture since I loved the texture with my alteration. I am very interested in using a date to Sweeten since I *usually* do not use processed sugar. I used coconut sugar from madhava this time, which tastes amazing. I have not cared for other brands because of a weird burnt like taste it had added to my baked goods.

I super excited to make these, because they sound and look delicious! I was following every step, but it didnt turn out well. They melt and dont keep the shape. Also the taste wasnt very pleasant. I hope everyone out there was more lucky than me. I am definitely not making these again. But thank you Minimalist Baker for your work, hopefully next time my creation will come up better.

Made these tonight and LOVE them. Thanks for another great recipe!

I just made a batch of these. Wow! So delicate and delicious. I used organic cacao butter in place of the cocoa butter, and it worked perfectly. My one mistake was refrigerating overnight- made scooping out a tad more tedious but in the end- delicious and worth the effort.

Wow, these were super simple to make using the food processor. I doubled the recipe as we’ll be having a large crowd over tomorrow. Really delish, easy and unique. Thanks!
(I ordered the cocoa butter on Amazon per your suggestion and picked up the macadamia nuts there too).

Just made this and it turned out beautiful! I used a jar of macadamia butter instead – and just coated it in coconut at the end.

These are awesome, exactly same as my favourite, so yummy , Thank You!

I tried to make this with dry roasted macadamia nuts and it didn’t taste like white chocolate at all. I was disappointed I wasted my cacao butter and coconut on it. I guess I should’ve followed the recipe exactly.

Just made these! They are so simple, yummy and decadent!

Dear Dana

These are delicious! Tried them for the first time last night after having the recipe open in my browser for a couple of weeks.

I used a Nutribullet, which worked fine. Had to stop and shake the container a lot to make sure all the nuts made it to the bottom, plus had to scrape down the sides a few times. I found 2 or 3 nut chunks in the truffles I’ve had so far, but they add rather than detract.

At first I had such gadget envy when I saw your small cookie scoop. But I used a metal 1 teaspoon measuring spoon to scoop out balls – worked perfectly! And I found rolling the bals in my palms a bit made them soft on the outside so the coconut stuck to them well.

I really enjoy your recipes. Thanks for innovating and inspiring. You were my first vegan cooking blog and always my go-to for impressing friends with “what? this is vegan?” deserts.

These little things are so yummy. Love them. Best recipe ever. thx

“Saw this recipe today and couldn’t wait to make it! ” Me too… and they are delicious! Kind regards from Germany !

Dana… Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you!!! This was one of the best chocolates I ever ate!!!
I made it last week. It tastes so much like rafaelos!
Making them again this coming week for a party that we are having at home.
I don’t have an ice-cream scoop, so I used a tablespoon, but I found it really hard to get the chocolate. So I am thinking of buying a chocolate mould. I always wanted to buy one anyway.
I ended up using all the sugar you recommended (I just wanted to use 2 spoons initially) and used a lot more vanilla extract. I am not sure how much more I used because I was using it directly from the bottle. But I would say I reached 1 teaspoon (including the 1/2 teaspoon of the recipe).

This is such an easy recipe to make and so tasty! Going to make it very often! :)

Awesome blog! All the pictures look delicious! Thanks for this recipe!

Saw this recipe today and couldn’t wait to make it! Couldn’t find cocoa butter anywhere :( subbed coconut butter instead…soooo delicious. Trying hard not to eat them all today. Had them for dessert after eating the MB stuffed sweet potatoes!! Love it!!

Hi Dana, it’s summer down here in Melbourne Australia, I tried your smashed potatoes with pesto sauce= so yummy. I too have a perchant for potatoes & I had it 2 days in a row. I love your recipes. Being a vegan/vegetarian, many of your recipes suit me down to the ground. I can’t countenance the idea of eating animals, never have, & @ 77 people say I look at least 20 or more years younger & I consider it is my diet, not that that should count for anything. But its nice to hear, as an “old” lady. God Bless.
