Someone asked me about truffles. To be honest these weren’t on my radar as something I ate or ever wanted. Nevertheless I looked at a recipe to see exactly what a truffle was and well here’s my SweetE spin on it!
Ingredients
Balls
- 1/2 cup blanched almond flour
- 1/2 cup sugar free natural peanut butter
- 2 Tbsp cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup SweetEs fusion sweet
- 1 pinch mineral salt

Chocolate Coating
- 2 oz unsweetened bakers chocolate
- 1/4 cup SweetEs fusion sweet
- 1 pinch mineral salt
- 1 Tbsp Nutiva buttery coconut oil
- 1 tsp instant coffee
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions
- Place almond flour in dry skillet over medium high heat. Toast until golden brown, stirring frequently. About 3 minutes
- Place toasted almond flour, and all other (ball) ingredients in mixing bowl, mix well until fully combined
- Using small cookie scoop or melon baller, scoop equal amounts of mixture into palms, roll mixture into balls.
- Place rolled balls on parchment lined tray or cookie sheet - freeze for 30 minutes.
- At the 20 minute mark, make the coating by placing bakers chocolate, sweetener, salt and coffee granules in saucepan over med low heat. Stir until melted, then add balance of ingredients stirring briskly. This process should be no more than 5 minutes.
