  • About

This low-sugar truffle recipe is perhaps a more surprising way to use beans, but chickpeas are a great base for rich chocolate recipes and are a wonderful alternative to usual nut-based truffles. They have a natural sweetness, as does the beetroot juice, and the earthy flavour of the beetroot pairs well with the other ingredients. Be careful to blend the mixture in stages so you get a smooth end result.
