These Gluten-Free Vegan Chocolate Chip and Pistachio Brownie Truffles are an easy no-bake treat that’s ready in about 10 minutes.
I had originally planned to share these as a St. Valentine’s Day treat but ended up posting this recipe instead.
These easy-to-make truffles are a slight variation of my Pistachio Sesame Seed Balls recipe which is a reader favorite with over 20,000 pins!
In place of the sesame seeds, I added chocolate chips and raw cacao powder to give them a deep chocolate brownie taste and texture.
They’re a perfect snack to go with a cup of warm herbal tea and are raw, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, no-bake, paleo-friendly and contain no refined sugar.

Transfer the mixture to a medium size bowl and add the chopped pistachios and chocolate chips; stir them in by hand. Take out a spoonful of the mixture at a time, squeeze it in the palm of your hand, then shape/gently roll them into a ball shape. Put them in the refrigerator for 15 - 30 minutes to firm up. Store in the refrigerator until ready to serve because they will get soft and lose their shape if left out at room temperature. Enjoy! |
