Reishi truffles

Jade Woodd

Reishi is a medicinal mushroom with a reputation for being a profound immune stimulator. In powder form, you can enjoy it added to chocolate, homemade lattes, smoothies or baked goods. 

Ingredients

Makes 20

To decorate

Method

  1. Chop the chocolate very finely, and place in a heat-proof bowl. Set aside. 
  2. Heat the coconut cream in a small saucepan until almost simmering then immediately pour over the chocolate. Allow to stand for 3 minutes, then whisk together until combined and glossy. 
  3. Add in the peanut butter and reishi powder, then mix well. Refrigerate for 2 or more hours, then roll into balls (about 1 tbsp for each). You’ll need to do this quickly, so as not to melt the chocolate in your hands. 
  4. The truffles are ready to eat at this stage, or you can dip them in extra melted chocolate and then roll in crushed peanuts, shredded coconut, cocoa powder or whatever you like!

TIP: You’ll be able to find reishi powder in most health food stores or online.
