Chestnut truffles

To make these chestnut truffles, I took inspiration from the Mont Blanc dessert, using a sugar-free chestnut cream made with almond milk, so they’re also suitable for those with lactose intolerance. I added rum and then dipped the truffles in grated coconut. They’re a delicious treat and naturally gluten-free.
