If you love wine and you love chocolate, you will definitely be a huge fan of these vegan red wine chocolate truffles. I’ve been wanting to come up with my own truffle recipe and thought of making these since red wine and chocolate are a perfect duo. I reduced the red wine since I really wanted the wine flavor to stand out and used coconut milk to keep the ganache vegan. I then dipped the ganache into melted chocolate. I sprinkled the tops with cacao nibs for a little added textured. These are delicious and so professional looking. In fact Greg thought they were store bought.
If you have left over reduced wine, I suggest using it for this london broil recipe.
