Today I’m sharing my Boozy Chocolate Hazelnut Truffles and more Christmas cookie recipes from some of my friends. (Be sure to follow over on my Instagram too!) My favorite Christmas memory is for sure holiday baking and all the Christmas cookies. My mom used to do a cookie swap every year with her girlfriends. She would make a bunch of cookies ahead of time and pop them in the freezer. My sisters and I knew where they were and we’d go down and sneak some when no one was looking. One year, my mom went to go to her cookie swap and all the cookies were gone! She had to make over 6 dozen cookies last minute, needless to say she wasn’t happy but we laugh about it now.
These chocolate hazelnut truffles are dairy free and made with my homemade Chocolate Hazelnut Liqueur. They’re super rich and decadent and make great homemade gifts too!

Boozy Chocolate Hazelnut Truffles
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups vegan chocolate chips
- 2 1/3 cups vegan butter
- 1/2 cup my homemade chocolate hazelnut liqueur (you can also omit)
- 1/4 cup soft silken tofu
- confectioners sugar, cocoa powder, chopped nuts, chopped candy canes (option for rolling the truffles in)
Instructions
- In a microwave safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and butter. Heat on 30 second intervals, stopping to mix well in between, continue until completely melted.
- Once melted, pour in the liqueur, stirring well.
- Add in the tofu and blend using an immersion blender.
- Pop in the fridge for about 3 hours so that it can thicken up and solidify.
- Once the mixture is firm, take out of the refrigerator and start rolling into balls.
- Prepare a few bowls of chopped candy canes, chopped nuts, powdered sugar, cocoa powder or whatever you choose for topping your truffles.
- Roll your chocolate truffles into the toppings.
- Store in an airtight container in the freezer until ready to serve. Once serving, serve chilled as they become soft at room temp.
