What could make this Christmas more festive? Christmas brandy truffles of course! Brought to you by the Vegetarian Recipe Club (see http://vegetarianrecipeclub.org.uk) with slight adaptations. This recipe can be scaled down to produce less truffles and you can have a go with adding a coconut or coffee liquor instead of the brandy if it's not your thing. Christmas Brandy Truffles Vegetarian, Vegan, Gluten-Free, Nut-Free Option
Ingredients: 1 tub vegan cream cheese * Method: Spoon vegan 'cream cheese' into a bowl, sieve in the icing sugar and beat well until smooth. Break the chocolate into a bowl and then immerse the bowl into a saucepan of simmering water on the top of your oven. Stir with wooden spoon as it melts. Add melted chocolate to 'vegan cheese' and icing mixture, along with the brandy. Mix well, cover and refrigerate for 1 hour. Now shape the mix into truffles (about 1 inch balls). Put the cocoa powder into a bowl, add the truffles and then gently shake the bowl so they become coated. Mix the icing sugar and appropriate amount of water. Spoon onto truffles then decorate with angelica leaves and cranberries. Store in a cool place until ready to eat. Note: The picture above shows pistachios and glace cherries being used as alternative decorations. You may not need 200g icing sugar for the icing so start with 100g icing sugar, sieved, and add water a little at a time until you get an opaque but slightly liquid icing which will be able to set after resting.
