Raspberry Fudge Truffles Recipe

Makes 8 to 10 servings | Ease Factor 1

Ingredients

• 2 heaping tablespoons raspberry preserves
• 1 bar (3.5 ounces) vegan dark chocolate, finely chopped (snack bar; not unsweetened baking chocolate)
• 1⁄3 cup raisins
• 3 teaspoons unsweetened cocoa powder, for dusting
• 2 teaspoons raw unsweetened shredded dried coconut (optional)

Instructions

1. Line a mini muffin pan with 8 to 10 paper liners. Drain off any excess liquid from the raspberry preserves. Put the raspberry preserves in a large bowl.

2. Melt the vegan chocolate in a double boiler over medium-low heat. Pour the melted chocolate into the raspberry preserves and stir until thoroughly combined. Fold in the raisins.
Immediately mound the mixture into the mini-muffin cups, dividing it evenly, using a small cookie scoop.

3. Refrigerate 3 to 4 hours or until firm. Dust with cocoa powder and sprinkle with coconut, as desired. Stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator, minis will keep up to 3 days.
