Recipe slightly adapted from Vegan Chocolate by Fran Costigan. Stevia sweetened dark chocolate, orange juice and zest and a spoonful of tahini meld into to-die-for spheres of candy rolled in sesame seeds for extra texture.
Ingredients
- 4 oz stevia-sweetened bittersweet chocolate (I used CocoPolo), chopped finely shopping list
- zest of 1 blood orange* shopping list
- 3 tbsp fresh blood orange juice* shopping list
- ¼ cup agave nectar (I used Amoretti Organolicious Blood Orange Flavored Blue Agave Nectar) shopping list
- 1 tbsp tahini shopping list
- 3 tbsp sesame seeds, for coating shopping list
Blood oranges give these an exotic, rich sweetness, but navel oranges work just as well.
How to make it
- Place chocolate in a small bowl, set aside.
- Combine zest, juice and agave in a small pot and bring to a brisk simmer.
- Reduce heat to low, add tahini and beat well.
- Cook, stirring constantly, for 30 seconds.
- Remove from heat and set aside for 1 minute.
- Pour over the chocolate and cover for 1 minute, then stir until chocolate is completely melted.
- Pour into a shallow pan and refrigerate at least 2 hours, until firm.
- Place sesame seeds in a shallow dish.
- Scoop 1” balls of ganache and roll into balls. Roll in the seeds to coat, then transfer to a plate. See Photo
- Chill at least 1 hour before serving.
