Amanda Young’s Urban Goddess Chocolate Truffles

Recently I had the privaledge of spending time with Amanda Young at Atmananda Yoga in Soho, NYC. Amanda taught me how to make her delicious raw chocolate truffles called urban goddess chocolate. At the end of our private session I left with a whole box full of them and ended up giving them away to random people on the street feeling that they are the best kept secret out there as far as chocolate goes! The eyes of the people who tasted them lit up and they immediately asked me where they could get more of them. The best part about Amanda’s chocolates is that they are totally guilt free with cashew butter, agave and cacao powder as the main ingredients. What I love about them is their soft and creamy texture on the inside and each flavor has something so unique and special like the “isolt flavor” which includes ingredients like dried cherries, strawberries and rose water! You can order them from her website: www.urbangoddesschocolate.com or if you live in the NYC area www.organicavenue.com on 116 Suffolk Street carries them. When I have enough time and energy I love making them on my own at home and to make them more candida friendly I use yacon syrup instead of agave for the sweetener and it still tastes so delicious! Watch Amanda make them in the video below while she talks about the inspirational workshops that she leads in NY and Costa Rica!
