As someone who is very allergic to milk I often have to look out for vegan snacks that I can easily Pick up on the go! I love reading what other people find so I thought I would join in the conversation and share mine :)

(Due to my exceedingly sensitive stomach all of these products will also be low Garlic, Onion, and oat free whilst also being low fat as my digestive system really struggles to digest these. I do see a dietitian to make sure my diet is as wholesome as it can be with my bowel not digesting certain foods efficiently at the moment.)

Chocolate Oreo Truffles:Vegan

These chocolate oreo truffles were born out of a crazy evening baking for my friends christmas gifts. I stood looking at the ingredients I had infront of me (Oreos, Digestives, and Dairy Free milk chocolate) and decided truffles were the way forward. I did also luckily have some vegan cream cheese in my fridge as well to bind these beauties together. I say luckily but of course I had cream cheese in my fridge because it is a life saver in my milk free life. I have had a few people ask for the recipe for these and I hope you will enjoy them as much as I do! Please comment below if you do try them and of course if you aren't vegan/dairy free feel free to use non vegan ingredients that you may already have at home! 


What you will need:
  • .1 pack mint chocolate oreos
  • .4 tbsp dairy free cream cheese (I use Sainsburys)
  • .5 dairy free digestives (I use Tescos)
  • .200g chocolate (I like to use dairy free milk chocolate but any is fine!)
  • .Cocoa powder (for dusting)

Method:
Place the oreos, and digestives in a food processor and blitz until crumb consistency.
  1. Melt the chocolate over a saucepan of simmering water in a glass bowl until melted, ensuring no steam gets into the bowl. Or in the microwave for 20 second intervals stiring until melted.
  2. Add the cream cheese and a Tbsp of chocolate into the crumbs and blitz again until combined.
  3. take tsp amounts of the mixture and roll into balls between your hands.
  4. Stick each ball onto a cocktail stick and cover in the melted chocolate, placing onto a plate covered in parchment paper. 
  5. Once you have covered all of your truffles place them into the fridge to set for approximately 1 hour.
  6. Remove from the fridge and cover all over in cocoa powder
  7. Enjoy!!
