3tablespoons(3tablespoons)maple syrup to taste (or sub any other sweetener)
1teaspoon(1teaspoon)vanilla extract
To decorate (optional)*:
Pistachios, finely chopped
Freeze-dried raspberries
Instructions
Drain soaked cashews and add to a food processor along with all the other ingredients**.
Whizz until completely smooth.
Taste and adjust flavour accordingly.
Put the mixture (keeping it in the food processor but you can transfer to a bowl if you wish) into the fridge and leave for 2 hours to harden – the mixture should be hard enough to easily shape into balls.
Mix together the chopped pistachios and freeze-dried raspberries in a bowl.
Use two teaspoons to make a teaspoon-sized ball of the mixture.
Roll the ball in the chopped pistachios and freeze-dried raspberries then place onto a plate.
Repeat for the rest of the mixture.
Keep truffles in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.

Desiccated coconut.
Melted dark chocolate.
