No Bake Nutella Balls (chocolate truffles)

Here’s a new favourite truffle I added to our Christmas cookie boxes this year. I’ll share with you how to make No Bake Nutella Balls covered in chocolate with a few sprinkles to make them look festive. These were so delicious. I had a hard time not eating all of them myself. You can crush the graham crackers yourself, but I just purchased a box of crumbs. No Bake Nutella Balls Makes about 50 balls Adapted from The Carefree Kitchen Ingredients For the filling 1/2 cup of butter, softened 1 1/4 cup Nutella 1 cup graham cracker crumbs 2 cups icing sugar 1 teaspoon vanilla For the coating 1 1/2 cups meting chocolate (I used milk) Directions Combine all filling ingredients until a dough forms.

Eggless Caesar Salad Dressing

I guess it's not really "eggless" since mayo is made with eggs, but you don't have add raw eggs to the recipe is what i'm saying here. If you used vegan mayo, then it would in face be eggless. 

Just be sure to taste the dressing before adding salt as the cheese and anchovies already have a good amount of salt in them. Adjust the amount of garlic to your tastes. Some people like more than others - one clove is enough for me.


Eggless Caesar Salad Dressing
Makes about 1 cup

Ingredients
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 3 tablespoons mayo
  • juice of 1 lemon
  • 3 anchovy fillets
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon of Dijon mustard (I used grainy)
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • salt (if needed, taste it first)
Directions
  1. In a food processor (I used my Magic Bullet), pulse garlic until it's minced.
  2. Add all other ingredients and blend until creamy. If you have an opening in your food processor, you can go ahead and stream the olive oil in after the other ingredients are blended like the professionals would do, but honestly, I just put everything in and it turned out just as well. I suppose a blender would work too.
  3. Serve over a salad or as a dip for pizza and wings.
Tip: Chances are you'll have extra anchovies. Store them in the fridge in an airtight container with the oil they come in. You can also buy anchovy paste. 1 tablespoon of paste should be good in this recipe.
