Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 cups (237 ml) mashed potatoes
- 1 tbsp butter or dairy-free alternative
- 1 tbsp milk or dairy-free alternative
- 2 tbsp honey, agave, or maple syrup
- 1 tbsp cocoa powder
- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
- 7 oz (200 g) dark chocolate
- 1/4 cups (59 ml) each of chopped pistachios, almonds, shredded coconut, and cocoa powder
Instructions
- Prepare the Mashed Potatoes: Ensure your mashed potatoes are plain without any savory additions like garlic or chives.
- Combine Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, butter, milk (if needed), honey, cocoa powder, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined and smooth.
- Chill the Mixture: Place the mixture in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to firm up.
- Melt Chocolate: Break the dark chocolate into pieces and melt it in a double boiler or microwave. Stir until smooth.
- Form Truffles: Once the potato mixture is chilled and firm, scoop and roll it into small balls.
- Coat the Truffles: Dip each truffle into the melted chocolate, ensuring it’s completely covered. Then roll the truffles in your chosen coatings such as chopped nuts or cocoa powder.
- Set the Truffles: Place the coated truffles on a parchment-lined tray and refrigerate until the chocolate sets, about 15-20 minutes.
- Serve: Enjoy your truffles cold. They can be served immediately or stored in the refrigerator.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate with a high percentage of cacao.
- If your mashed potatoes are too wet, add 1-2 tablespoons of cocoa powder to absorb excess moisture.
- Store truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
