This is seriously the easiest dessert recipe ever!  You would never know it's vegan and it tastes soooo scrumptious you should really give them away as holiday gifts.  This is a great recipe to involve the whole family in.  Check out the video and recipe below!

The Best No Bake Vegan Truffles
makes about 12 pieces

1/2 C. vegan cream cheese (I used Tofutti brand)
1 1/4 C. powdered sugar (use vegan if possible)
1/4 C. cocoa powder
1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
1/4 C. dark chocolate chips (vegan & fair-trade if you can)
powdered sugar, sprinkles, shredded coconut, chopped nuts, etc. for rolling

Blend cream cheese and powdered sugar in food processor or bowl with electric beaters until smooth.

Meanwhile, melt chocolate chips in microwave or over the stove until just melted, being careful not to burn it. Stir until smooth.

Pour melted chocolate into cream cheese mixture and blend. Add cocoa powder and vanilla, blending until completely smooth.

Place in covered container in refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to chill and harden up a bit. 

Once dough is ready, form 1 1/2-2" balls, rolling with your hands. 

Next comes the fun part! Roll into your choice of toppings such as powdered sugar, sprinkles, shredded coconut, cocoa powder or chopped nuts. 

Give as a gift or gobble up! These are so delicious you would never know they're vegan. They taste like a delectable bite of gourmet frosting! Yum!!
