Are chocolate truffles vegan?
The heart-shaped gifts we give each other on Valentine’s Day and other romantic occasions are typically filled with chocolate truffles. Truffles are chocolate candies crafted with a soft filling contained by a hard chocolate shell.
While the shell may be made with dark chocolate, the fillings often contain dairy. Things like caramel, dairy-based ganache, or creams are some of the most common truffle fillings. It’s not difficult to come across vegan chocolate bars in the mainstream chocolate market, but vegan truffles can be harder to come by.
But that said, many brands in the vegan chocolate industry do offer truffles, so if you want to stick to tradition, you do have options. Below you’ll find plenty stuffed with divine confections like salted caramel, rich peanut butter, and fruity fillings.
