Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
  • ½ cup almond flour
  • ¼ cup crushed almonds
  • 3 tbsp maple syrup (or keto-friendly sweetener)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp coconut oil, melted
  • ½ tsp sea salt
  • 1 cup dark chocolate (70% cocoa or higher), finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil (for melting chocolate)
  • Optional toppings: Cocoa powder, crushed nuts, shredded coconut, or edible gold dust

Instructions

  • Prepare the Truffle Base:
    • In a mixing bowl, combine shredded coconut, almond flour, crushed almonds, maple syrup, vanilla extract, melted coconut oil, and sea salt.
    • Stir until the mixture forms a sticky, dough-like consistency. If too dry, add an extra teaspoon of coconut oil or maple syrup.
  • Shape the Truffles:
    • Using a spoon or mini ice cream scoop, portion out small amounts of dough.
    • Roll into bite-sized balls with your hands. (Tip: Dust your hands with cocoa powder to prevent sticking.)
    • Place the truffles on a parchment-lined tray and refrigerate for 30 minutes to firm up.
  • Melt the Chocolate:
    • In a double boiler (or microwave in short intervals), melt the dark chocolate and 1 tbsp of coconut oil, stirring until smooth.
    • Allow the chocolate to cool slightly (to about 90°F / 32°C) before dipping.
  • Coat the Truffles:
    • Using a fork or skewer, dip each chilled truffle into the melted chocolate, ensuring a full, even coating.
    • Let excess chocolate drip off before placing the truffle back on the tray.
  • Add Toppings & Set:
    • Before the chocolate hardens, sprinkle shredded coconut, crushed almonds, or cocoa powder over the truffles.
    • Refrigerate for another 20 minutes until the coating is fully set.
  • Serve & Store:
    • Enjoy immediately or store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
    • For longer storage, freeze truffles for up to 3 months and thaw before serving.
