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.

💡 Additional Notes/Tips

  • Add fresh jalapeños if you love living dangerously.
  • For extra decadence, sprinkle flaky sea salt on top of your truffles.
  • Swap coconut cream for oat cream if you like a less coconutty vibe.
  • Leftover chili freezes beautifully — unlike your patience at work.
  • Espresso shots inside truffles = instant goddess energy, scientifically proven (probably).
