Ingredients
  

Truffle Base
  • 1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup almond butter or any nut butter of your choice Feel free to substitute with peanut or sunflower seed butter.
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup or honey Adjust sweetness if desired.
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • a pinch salt
Chocolate Coating
  • 1 cup dark chocolate chips

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded coconut, rolled oats, almond butter, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir until well combined. Ensure the mixture is thick enough to hold together; add more almond butter if necessary.
  2. Using your hands, scoop small portions of the mixture and roll them into bite-sized balls (about 1 inch in diameter). Place the balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  3. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the dark chocolate chips in 30-second intervals until fully melted and smooth.
  4. Using a toothpick or skewer, dip the truffles into the melted chocolate, letting excess chocolate drip off before placing them back on the parchment paper. Allow the chocolate-coated truffles to cool and set.
  5. Place the truffles in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to firm up.

Notes

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week, or freeze for up to three months. Enjoy straight from the freezer for a cool treat.
