Chocolate truffles? Boring, not quite but why not try a different variation? Especially if you are a lover of chai tea like me, these little yummy truffles are just the thing. One thing I can promise you in advance, they just melt in your mouth and are an absolute highlight in the run-up to Christmas.
Chai chocolate truffle
Chai tea or masala chai is something of a national drink in India. It comes in countless variations, but at its base the spices are always the same:
- Cardamom: Has a digestive effect and soothes the stomach
- Ginger: has an antibacterial effect and promotes blood circulation
- Fennel: the essential oils it contains help very well with indigestion
- Anise: stimulates appetite and digestion
- Cinnamon: helps against bloating and stimulates the appetite
Apparently, Indians put a lot of thought into the invention of chai tea. I would say chai morning, noon and night? Are you with us? Ok, but please in between a chai truffle!
The beauty of this recipe is that it’s wonderfully easy to make, requiring only 3 ingredients:
- Dark vegan chocolate
- Loose chai tea or bag
- Coconut milk
By the way, the truffles are also perfect as a gift. Especially if you want to surprise someone who likes homemade.
The chocolate chai truffles are:
- rich
- creamy
- chocolatey
- Simply made
- Incredibly delicious
The truffles go very well with hot drinks, such as a cup of tea, coffee, vegan chai latte, cappuchino with Almond milk or mulled wine. Raise the cups!
