How to Prepare Sweet Potato and Plantain Truffles [Vegan, Gluten-Free, No Refined Sugar]
For the Sweet Potato:
- Cube it, then steam for 7-8 minutes until super tender. Transfer to a food processor and puree until smooth. Transfer to a bowl (Bowl #1).
For the Plantains:
- Slice plantains into thin rounds and drop into a heated skillet with a touch of coconut oil. Fry them about 2 minutes per side until nicely browned. Remove from heat, blot off any extra oil and transfer to a food processor. Puree until smooth. Transfer to a bowl (Bowl #2).
- In Bowl #1, combine potato puree and all remaining Sweet Potato Truffle ingredients except shredded coconut. Stir until it forms an even batter. In Bowl #2, combine plantain puree and all remaining Plantain Truffle ingredients. Stir until it forms and even batter.
- Transfer both Bowl #1 and #2 to the fridge to set for an hour. While you wait, place chosen garnishes into separate dishes. Set aside.
- Once your batter is set, use your hands to roll it into 1" balls, then roll each in garnish to coat.
- Transfer garnished truffles on waxed paper or parchment (to make clean up a little easier) or place in a container for storage. These will keep in the fridge up to 5 days in an airtight container.
