Let’s talk cupcakes, shall we? These vegan beauties are not just your run-of-the-mill treats – they’re also amazing at how quickly you can whip these up, and even more impressed by their delicious flavor.

Now, here’s where it gets fun: you can experiment with different milks, oils, and extracts. You can’t go wrong with just about any combination.

Fair warning though, this recipe’s a bit of a diva when it comes to cakes – it prefers the spotlight of individual cupcakes. But hey, who doesn’t love a good cupcake anyway? They’re portable, perfectly portioned, and frankly, way more fun.

To top it off (literally), try a simple frosting with cocoa powder, powdered sugar, and a splash of orange juice. It’s the perfect finishing touch to these vegan delights that’ll have everyone asking for seconds.

Chocolate truffles are usually made with heavy cream and butter, but these dairy-free versions use coconut milk or cream to create a rich, creamy filling. These chocolate truffles are perfect for any special occasion or simply as an indulgent treat.

There are a few things to keep in mind when making vegan chocolate truffles.

First, make sure to use high-quality chocolate that is at least 60% cacao. This will ensure that the chocolate is rich and flavorful. Secondly, be sure to let the coconut milk or cream come to room temperature before adding it to the melted chocolate.

This will help prevent the chocolate from seizing up. The coconut milk will also help give the chocolate truffles a creamy texture. If you’re worried about the slightly grainy texture of the coconut sugar, try using a fine-grind version like this one.

It works wonderfully in these truffles.
