Ingredients
- 90 ml (6 tbsp) or 72 g of raw cocoa butter (organic and fair trade)
- 15 ml (1 tbsp) or 12 g of organic vegetable oil of your choice (camelina, sunflower, hemp, etc.)
- 20 drops of organic sweet orange essential oil (Citrus sinensis) (optional)*
- 15 ml (1 tbsp) or 6 g of ground oat flakes
- silicone ice cube tray
* When you use raw cocoa butter, the truffles naturally have a chocolate aroma, which makes adding essential oils optional, especially if you plan to use them with baby. Check out our Manifesto for the Safe Use of Essential Oils linked above for more information.
Preparation steps
1. In a double boiler, melt the butter in the oil.
2. Remove from heat and add the essential oils, if desired. Mix well.
3. Pour into the silicone molds.
4. Evenly distribute the powdered oat flakes among the molds.
5. Let set in the fridge. Only unmold once the truffles are very hard.
6. Store in an airtight container.
How to use it
Add 1 or 2 truffles to hot bathwater.
Warning! The truffles can make the tub slippery.
