Description
Coconut Almond Snowball Truffles are delightful bite-sized treats made with shredded coconut, almond flour, and almond butter, coated in rich dark chocolate.
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1/2 cup almond butter
- 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips (for coating)
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil (for melting chocolate)
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine shredded coconut, almond flour, almond butter, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, and salt. Mix until well combined and a dough forms.
- Using your hands, roll the mixture into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter. Place the balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Refrigerate the truffles for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
- While the truffles are chilling, melt the dark chocolate chips and coconut oil together in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth.
- Remove the truffles from the refrigerator. Dip each truffle into the melted chocolate, allowing any excess to drip off. Return the coated truffles to the parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Once all truffles are coated, refrigerate them for another 15-20 minutes to set the chocolate.
- Serve chilled or at room temperature.
Notes
- For a tropical twist, add a tablespoon of lime zest to the mixture before rolling into balls.
- You can also substitute the almond butter with peanut butter for a different flavor profile.
