With this dish, you can show how you manage food allergies, how it is safe for you and spread some holiday cheer.
A Sweet Food Allergy Holiday Tradition with Nut-Free Chocolate Truffles
At Zestfull, a holiday table isn’t complete without a sweet treat to finish off the night. One of Kortney’s favorite traditions is to have her family make dessert together.
For a fun tradition, Kortney suggests making these nut-free and vegan chocolate truffles. After dinner, pull out a big bowl of truffle ‘dough’ and get everyone involved by rolling out at least one truffle.
In addition, if you have leftover cocoa why not make these other dairy-free recipes: Vegan Ginger Cocoa Cookies or Vegan Chocolate Oatmeal
Include different options to roll the truffles, such as allergy-friendly sprinkles, coconut, crushed candy canes, or like in our recipe below, add cocoa powder. Get your hands chocolatey and have some fun!
We share our favorite top 8 free and chocolate nut-free truffles recipe at the bottom of this article. It also works great if you omit the cinnamon or add in a ¼ teaspoon of peppermint oil.

Chocolate Nut-free Truffles
- Total Time: 20 minutes
- Yield: 12 small truffles 1x
- Diet: Vegan
Description
Chocolate Nut-Free Truffles are the perfect sweet treat! Top 9 free and made with oat milk.
Ingredients
- ⅔ cup oat milk*
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 2 cups chocolate chips (10 oz)
- ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Simmer oat milk with cinnamon sticks for 5 minutes, until the milk takes on a cinnamon flavour.
- Remove cinnamon stick
- Place chocolate chips in a bowl.
- Add ¼ cup of the oat milk to the chocolate chips, stir until chocolate is fully melted and smooth. (Some milk may remain from the ⅔ cup that was simmered, it makes for a nice little treat!). If chocolate is not fully melted, use microwave to warm in small increments to melt and stir until smooth.
- Let chocolate & oat milk mixture cool. Cover and refrigerate the chocolate for a minimum of two hours, it should be hard to the touch but soft enough to scoop.
- Mix the cocoa and ground cinnamon in a bowl. Set aside.
- To form into truffles, remove chocolate from the fridge. Using a spoon, about a tablespoon, scoop chocolate and place it in between your palms to roll and form into a ball. Work fast and with cold hands. Dip the ball in the cocoa-cinnamon mixture to coat. Repeat.
Notes
Truffles are best stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to six days.
This recipe uses store-bought oat milk. Homemade oat milk may be thicker, which can result in different measurements and consistency.
If your truffle dough sits in the fridge for more than two hours and becomes hard to scoop, soften in microwave on low until it becomes scoop-able.
