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

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.
