TIP Decadent Truffles To make 18-20 truffles, chill for at least 1 hour before rolling them out. Roll the mix into 20g truffles and dip in gluten free, dairy free and vegan cocoa powder. For an uber decadent treat, try a cheeky splash of rum.

Gluten free and vegan banana bread and chocolate and banana spread recipe

Ingredients

200g dairy free dark chocolate

20g pumpkin seeds, toasted

20g sunflower seeds, toasted

20g pine nuts or shelled hemp

1 ripe banana, mashed with a fork

125g tub dairy free and vegan coconut yoghurt

Place the chocolate in a microwaveable bowl and melt in the microwave for 30 second bursts on medium power until the chocolate has melted. Be careful not to overheat the chocolate as it will burn. If the chocolate has nearly melted but with a few lumps remaining, it is safer to remove from
the microwave and stir these lumps in to melt them. Place the melted chocolate in a food processor with the other ingredients and blitz until a smooth paste is formed.

STORAGE Keeps in the fridge for 5 days
