A cozy vegan white chicken chili paired with espresso-infused chocolate ganache truffles, because self-care tastes better with dessert involved.
Ingredients
For the White Chicken Chili:
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium onion finely chopped
- 3 garlic cloves minced
- 2 cans 15 oz white beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 cup vegan chicken pieces
- 1 cup vegetable broth
- 1 cup coconut cream
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1 lime juiced
- Salt and pepper to taste
For Espresso-Chocolate Ganache Truffles:
- 1/2 cup coconut cream
- 1 tablespoon brewed espresso
- 1 cup vegan dark chocolate chopped
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder for dusting
Instructions
White Chicken Chili:
- Heat olive oil in a large pot and sauté onion until soft, about 5 minutes of pretending you’re on a cooking show.
- Stir in garlic, cumin, cayenne, and paprika; cook until your kitchen smells better than any overpriced candle.
- Add white beans, vegan chicken, broth, and coconut cream; mix thoroughly like your life depends on it.
- Let it simmer for 35-40 minutes, occasionally stirring and overthinking your entire life.
- Squeeze in fresh lime juice, season with salt and pepper, and serve steamy and dramatic.
Espresso-Chocolate Ganache Truffles:
- In a small saucepan, heat coconut cream until it just simmers, not boils (we aren’t monsters).
- Remove from heat and stir in chopped chocolate, brewed espresso, and vanilla until smooth enough to make you emotional.
- Chill the ganache until firm, about 1 hour (perfect time to scroll social media and judge quietly).
- Scoop and roll into small truffle balls, then dust in cocoa powder like you’re living a Pinterest fantasy.
- Store chilled until ready to dazzle your tastebuds and anyone lucky enough to get a bite.
