Made with 8 simple ingredients, these truffles are a lovely combination of sweetness and bitterness and they are sure to satisfy any sweet craving.

Ingredients

  • ½ cup coconut flour
  • ½ cup almond flour
  • 2 tsp instant coffee
  • ¾ tsp ground cardamom
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • 5 tbsp date paste , find my recipe here
  • 1 tbsp almond butter
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup
  • ½ cup chopped dark chocolate (I like using 70% or more) 

Toppings

  • Hemp hearts
  • Instant coffee
  • Dried rose buds

Recipe

  1. Step 1

    To a large bowl, add coconut flour, almond flour, instant coffee, cardamom and a pinch of salt. Mix to combine.

  2. Step 2

    Add date paste, almond butter and maple syrup. Mix using a rubber spatula until the mixture sticks together when pinched.

  3. Step 3

    Using a tablespoon, scoop out the mixture and form little balls with your hands.

  4. Step 4

    Place on a parchment lined plate. Refrigerate while you melt the chocolate.

  5. Step 5

    Melt the chocolate over a double boiler, mixing once in a while with a rubber spatula to speed up the process.

  6. Step 6

    Drop a ball, one at a time into the chocolate and move around to cover. Using a fork, gently remove the truffle from the chocolate. Tap on the side of the bowl to remove any excess chocolate and place back on parchment-lined plate.

  7. Step 7

    Top with any of your toppings.

  8. Step 8

    Repeat for the rest of your truffles. Place in the fridge to set.

  9. Step 9

    Keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks. Enjoy!

Common Questions & Swaps

  • The almond butter could be replaced by coconut or cashew butter.

  • If you are not a fan of coffee, simply decrease how much you put in or even just omit it.

  • Although I have not tested replacing the coconut flour with almond flour, I feel like you should be able to do so, but you will have to add a little more almond flour, until the mixture sticks together.
