Servings: 24 truffles
Calories: 45kcal
Ingredients
- ½ cup creamy almond butter
- 1 cup shredded coconut
- ¼ cup cocoa powder, plus a little extra for dusting
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- ⅛ to ¼ teaspoon salt*
- ¾ cup vegan chocolate chips
- 1 ½ tablespoons coconut oil
Instructions
- Mix the almond butter, coconut, cocoa, maple syrup, and salt together in a small bowl. Add a bit more almond butter if the mixture seems too dry, a bit more cocoa if it seems too runny.
- Melt the chocolate on the stove top or by placing it into a bowl and microwaving in 30 second increments, stirring between each increment.
- Stir the coconut oil into the chocolate. Keep stirring until it melts and completely blends with the chocolate.
- Roll the almond butter mixture into into ¾-inch balls.
- Line a large cutting board or baking sheet with a sheet of parchment paper.
- Use a fork or toothpick to dip the balls into the melted chocolate mixture. Roll each one gently to coat, then transfer it to the parchment lined board.
- Allow the dusted truffles to sit for at least 1 hour to set.
- Dust the truffles with cocoa powder.
- Serve.
Notes
I only used ⅛ teaspoon of salt, because my almond butter was salted. You may want to use closer to ¼ teaspoon (or more, if you like) if yours is unsalted. Taste-test the filling and adjust the amount as needed.
