Sameera Reddy’s Chickpea Chocolate Truffle Recipe Gains Traction Across Lifestyle Outlets

Lifestyle outlets frame it as a protein‑rich, fibre‑forward dessert for home cooks.

Overview

  • Reddy posted an Instagram video sharing a full recipe for kabuli chana chocolate truffles that quickly drew coverage from Indian lifestyle media.
  • The ingredients reported by outlets include 200 g boiled, skinned chickpeas, 2 tbsp cocoa powder, 6 large chopped dates, 1 tbsp peanut butter, honey for binding, and melted chocolate for coating.
  • The method calls for blending the base, mixing in 2 tbsp honey, rolling bite‑size balls, dipping in melted chocolate, and freezing for about 25 minutes to set.
  • Her caption described the treat as “weird‑sounding, unreal‑tasting” and noted “even my kids couldn’t stop eating them,” with Republic World placing it within a broader chickpea‑chocolate trend among fitness enthusiasts.
  • Coverage highlights the truffles as a higher‑protein, higher‑fibre alternative with less reliance on refined sugar, while presenting it as a replicable home recipe rather than a clinical nutrition claim.
