Notes

  • Make sure not to overheat the milk or it will burn.
  • Different protein powders will affect both the taste and the texture of the recipe because each vegan protein powder absorbs differently 
  • Store the truffles in the fridge or freezer. If in the freezer, let them sit at room temperature for 15-30 minutes.
  • Top the protein truffles in crushed candy canes or sprinkles on top of the drizzles chocolate. Switch it up depending on the season!
