Today we’re sharing one of our favorite ingredients, Inner Beauty Boost, from one of our favorite beauty brands, The Beauty Chef, in their recipe for Black Bean & Cacao Truffles.

Rich and chocolaty, these decadent protein-packed truffles have a secret ingredient that you’d never guess: black beans. Whip some up to keep on hand for when you need that extra shot of strength or for recovering after a workout.

Ingredients:

1/ 3 cup (50 g) hazelnuts

400 g can black beans, drained and rinsed

100 ml full fat coconut cream

4 medjool dates, pitted

2 scoops TBC chocolate BODY powder

2 tbsp cacao powder

1 tbsp maple syrup

1/2 tsp vanilla bean powder

Pinch Himalayan salt

Raw chocolate coating

3/4 cup (75 g) cacao powder

75 g cacao butter, coarsely chopped

1 1/2 tbsp maple syrup

1 1/2 tbsp coconut oil

Preheat the oven to 180 °C. Line a medium tray with baking paper and set aside.  Spread the hazelnuts onto a small baking tray. Roast for 5–10 minutes, until the skins begin to come away and the nut is golden. Set aside to cool slightly.  Place the remaining ingredients in a high-speed blender. Blend until smooth.  Transfer the mixture into a medium bowl. Using spoons, shape into fifteen equal portions and arrange on the prepared tray. Refrigerate for 30 minutes, or until firmed up slightly.  Rub the roasted hazelnuts in a clean tea towel or paper towel, to remove the skins. Set fifteen nuts aside. Finely chop the remaining nuts.  Remove the mixture from the refrigerator. Roll into balls. Press a roasted hazelnut into the center of each ball. Re-roll to enclose. Return to the refrigerator while you prepare the coating.

To make the chocolate coating, half fill a small saucepan with water and bring to a simmer. Place all of the ingredients in a heatproof bowl. Take the pan off the heat and set the bowl over the top. Ensure the base of the bowl does not touch the water. Leave for 5 minutes, or until the cacao butter and coconut oil melts. Stir to combine. Resting the balls on a fork or using toothpicks, dip and roll the balls one at a time to coat evenly. Arrange back on the lined tray. Sprinkle the tops of the balls with chopped hazelnuts. Refrigerate for 30 minutes, or until set.
