Ingredients needed

Ingredient notes
- Almond flour- make sure you're using blanched almond flour.
- Cacao powder- unsweetened. You could substitute with unsweetened cocoa powder.
- Chocolate chips- these truffles are made with vegan friendly dark chocolate chips.
- Coconut oil- virgin unrefined coconut oil melted
- Almond extract- could substitute with vanilla extract although I recommend almond extract for these truffles.
How to make them
Start by blending the almond flour, cacao powder, maple syrup, coconut oil and almond extract in the food processor. Blend till it comes together and forms a sticky ball.
Using a tablespoon cookie scoop roll into balls with your hands and lay on a parchment lined tray.
Once all rolled place balls in freezer to harden up.
Meanwhile melt chocolate with remaining coconut oil in a double boiler till smooth and creamy.
Remove balls from freezer and using a slotted spoon or fork dip each ball into the melted chocolate and lay back on lined tray.
Optional- sprinkle with coarse flaky sea salt.
Storage notes
I recommend storing them in an airtight container in the fridge for 7-10 days.
You can freeze them for longer storage.
They can also be stored at room temperature in a cool place in a sealed airtight container for 3-4 days.

Can you make these with refined coconut oil?
Hi Kate, I recommend using virgin unrefined coconut oil for this recipe. Refined coconut oil is going to have more of a neutral flavor and would not be the best choice for these truffles.
This is the perfect Valentine's treat 🙂 Love that they're vegan too! The sea salt topping really set them apart.
How perfect for Valentine's Day! I love how easily they come together and that sea salt topping.
This is pretty much how we make our healthy truffles too. They make great homemade gifts at Christmas.
This looks heavenly. I cant wait to grab one. Will surely have it for my Kitty Party friends and they to love it.
Dark chocolate is everything, adding these to the Valentine's recipe list!
