Ingredients needed
How to make No Bake Almond Flour Chocolate Truffles?
Step 1: Mixing the Ingredients
Add almond flour to a bowl. Add the sweetened condensed milk, nut butter, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract to the almond flour.
Step 2: Forming the Truffle Mixture
Mix well until a dough forms. Once the dough comes together, place it in the refrigerator for about 20-30 minutes to firm up slightly.
Step 3: Shaping the Truffles
After the dough has firmed up, it’s time to shape it into small truffle-sized balls. This is where you can get creative and personalize the size of your truffles.
Step 4: Preparing the Chocolate Coating
In a heatproof bowl, melt the semi-sweet or dark chocolate with coconut oil until it’s smooth and silky. This is the luscious coating that will envelop your almond flour truffles.
Step 5: Coating the Truffles
Let the melted chocolate come to room temperature. Dip each truffle into the melted chocolate, ensuring it’s fully coated. You can use a fork or a specialized chocolate dipping tool to help with this.
Let any excess chocolate drip off, and then place the coated truffles on a parchment paper-lined tray.
Step 6: Adding Optional Toppings
While the chocolate coating is still wet, you can sprinkle your chosen optional toppings onto the truffles. Chopped nuts, shredded coconut, silver or gold foil, and cocoa powder are popular choices.
Step 7: Setting the Chocolate Coating
Place the tray in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the chocolate coating to set. This is the stage where your truffles will firm up.
Store any leftovers in the refrigerator.
Tips & Suggestions
Molding the Truffles: It’s essential to ensure the truffle mixture is firm enough before shaping them into balls. This will make the process much more manageable.
Chocolate Coating: When dipping the truffles in chocolate, work quickly to avoid the chocolate hardening before you’re done. Using a fork or dipping tool can help with this.
Toppings: Get creative with toppings. For a crunchy contrast, use finely chopped nuts, unsweetened shredded coconut for a tropical twist, or a dusting of cocoa powder for a classic finish.
Storage: Once your truffles are complete, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They can be enjoyed for several days, making them a perfect make-ahead treat.
