Orange Cream Truffles

July 2, 2014December 14, 2014 Melissa King 43 Comments

These Orange Cream Truffles are super good! The other day, a reader of mine asked if I had any chocolate recipes with orange cream. I didn’t at the time, but I loved the sound of a dessert like that. That is how these orange cream truffles were born. If you like my strawberry creme truffles, then you will love these orange cream truffles! It’s like a bite sized creamsicle covered in chocolate. How yummy is that? I think these truffles would be great without the chocolate too.

These orange cream truffles are super easy to make. All you need is 6 simple ingredients! These truffles are vegan, gluten free and paleo. They would be a great dessert to take to any party. No one would have any idea they were made a little healthier. I honestly think if you used super sweet oranges, you could eliminate the maple syrup all together. You could also use my 3 ingredient chocolate recipe instead of chocolate chips!

Chocolate Zucchini Muffins. The other day, my in-laws gave us a bunch of zucchini from their neighbor’s garden. I have been wanting to make some healthy zucchini muffins for a while.

So I set out to make some muffins. My vegan zucchini muffins are not only vegan, but they are gluten free as well.

If you like muffins, you may also like my Banana Blueberry Muffins or my Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins.

These muffins not only pack a hidden serving of veggies for the kids, but they are also oil free as well. This recipe is very easy to make and freezes well too.

Matcha Truffles (Vegan, Gluten Free, Paleo)

Have you tried matcha powder? Matcha powder is made from green tea leaves. It contains many health benefits. Matcha powder is high in antioxidants, can help improve memory and concentration, increase energy, boost metabloism and detoxify the body.

I have been wanting to try matcha, so I was happy to get an opportunity. I used Kiss Me Organics Matcha Powder.

Their matcha powder is organic, vegan and gluten free. You can do all kinds of things with this matcha powder. Smoothies, lattes, baking and raw desserts.

I am thinking about making a matcha ice cream next! These matcha truffles are delicous. Who wouldn’t want a truffle with antioxidants? Seriously? Win! If you like these matcha truffles, you may also like my strawberry cream truffles.

These matcha truffles were seriously so good! Melt in your mouth with hints of green tea. If you are already into green tea, then you will love matcha!

If you make these with dark chocolate chips, you will also be getting the antioxidants from the chocolate! Bonus! I have even more good news, Kiss Me Organics is going to give 1 bag of matcha powder to one of you!

Peanut Butter Pie (Vegan and Gluten Free)

Peanut Butter Pie. I am a huge fan of all nut butters. My whole cookbook is dedicated to them. Personally almond butter is my favorite, but my husband’s favorite is peanut butter.

He just loves the stuff. So I created this super easy peanut butter pie for him as well as you peanut butter lovers out there!

This peanut butter vegan pie has 3 layers. A nut and coconut crust, creamy peanut butter mousse filling, and chocolate ganache on top.

It’s super rich and decadent. It wouldn’t take much to satisfy your sweet tooth. Just a small slice will do.

Since this recipe is rather rich and decadent, I would reserve it for those days when you want to splurge a little. Not an everyday treat. 🙂

If you didn’t want to use chocolate chips for the top layer, you can use the 3 ingredient chocolate recipe in this video. For more videos, you can subscribe to my You Tube Channel.

Chocolate Strawberry Chia Pudding

Have you tried chia seeds? If not, you need to try this Chocolate Strawberry Chia Pudding! Those little seeds are packed with protein and fiber. Not to mention healthy fats. Chia pudding is a very common way to get them into your diet.

I already have a coconut vanilla chia pudding on my blog, so I thought I would add a chocolate chia pudding to the list. Chocolate and strawberries go so well together, don’t they? If you like this chocolate strawberry chia pudding, you may also like my strawberry creme truffles.

This clean eating chia pudding is vegan, gluten free, paleo and dairy free. Great for almost all diets. It’s also a breakfast that will keep you full for a long time. And who wouldn’t want a little chocolate for breakfast?

Nut Free Truffles

I know how hard it can be with a child that has allergies. My own daughter suffers from dairy, soy and sesame seed allergies. Nut allergies can be particularly challenging since so many things contain traces of nuts. Well I developed these nut free truffles with you in mind. You can now enjoy healthy sweets without a trace of nuts. These nut free truffles are not only nut free, but they are dairy free, and soy free too!

These delicious, nut free truffles are made with sunflower butter. Creamy sunflower butter with a decadent chocolate coating. I promise you it is delicious. A very easy recipe as well. Gluten free, grain free and vegan also.
