Ingredients
Truffles
½ cup almond butter
2tbsp coconut oil
¾ cup almond flour
1.5tsp cinnamon
2tsp vanilla extract
Pinch of sea salt
Chocolate Shell
2tbsp cacao powder
2tbsp melted coconut oil
2tsp vanilla extract
1tsp cinnamon
Instructions
- Make the truffles by mixing together the almond flour, coconut oil, almond butter, cinnamon, vanilla and sea salt. Transfer the mix to a blender and pulse until it is smooth and creamy.
- Pour mixture into a freezer-proof dish and freeze until firm, for approximately 15-20 minutes.
- Remove from freezer, and with a spoon scoop out enough filling to form truffle-sized balls, about 2cm in size.
- Line a baking sheet or freezer-proof container and return the truffles to the freezer until completely set, for another 15-20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, make the chocolate shell by mixing together the cacao powder, vanilla, coconut oil and cinnamon. Whisk thoroughly to achieve a smooth consistency, making sure the cacao powder is dissolved into the coconut oil.
- Take out the frozen truffles and dip in the chocolate sauce, making sure they are entirely covered. Remove them with a spoon and place back on the baking sheet. Place back in the freezer for another five minutes until fully set.
- Remove from freezer twenty minutes before serving.
