Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- ½ cup Almond Flour
- ⅛ cup Cocoa Powder unsweetened
- ½ cup Rolled Oats
- 1 tsp Salt
- ⅛ cup Desiccated Coconut
Chocolate Coating
- 1 cup Chocolate Chips dark
Instructions
- If using whole almonds, finely grind ½ to ¾ cup in a food processor until it becomes a fine powder. Measure out ½ cup of almond flour.
- Dry roast the rolled oats in a pan over medium heat until fragrant. This enhances their nutty flavor. Let them cool completely.
- In a food processor, combine the almond flour, cocoa powder, salt, and cooled roasted oats. Pulse a few times until the mixture is well combined.
- Add the honey and pulse once or twice to incorporate.
- Transfer the mixture to a bowl. Knead it for a minute or two until it comes together. Roll the mixture into small, bite-sized balls.
- Place the truffle balls on a parchment-lined plate or tray and freeze for 30 minutes to firm up.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the dark chocolate chips and butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each interval, until the chocolate and butter are melted and smooth.
- Add the milk and microwave for another 20 seconds. Stir gently until the chocolate is completely melted and glossy.
- Remove the truffle balls from the freezer. Using two spoons or a dipping tool, coat each ball in the melted chocolate. Ensure they are fully covered.
- Place the coated truffles back on the parchment-lined plate. Sprinkle generously with desiccated coconut.
- Refrigerate the truffles for 15 minutes to set the chocolate. Transfer each truffle to a mini cupcake liner and serve.
Recipe Notes
Good To Know
- If you prefer a chewier texture, lightly toast the oats in a dry pan for 2-3 minutes before adding them to the mixture—this enhances their nutty flavor and adds extra crunch.
- For a vegan version, substitute honey with maple syrup or agave nectar, and ensure your dark chocolate is dairy-free.
- Roll finished truffles in a mix of desiccated coconut and a pinch of flaky sea salt for an attractive finish and a boost of salty-sweet flavor in every bite.
- Chocolate chips can be melted using a double boiler method too.
Expert Tips
- For a more intense chocolate flavor, use a high-quality dark chocolate with a cocoa content of 70% or higher.
- If the truffle mixture is too sticky to roll, chill it in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to firm up.
- Get creative with your coatings! Try rolling the truffles in chopped nuts, cocoa powder, or sprinkles.
Storage Instructions
- Store truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week, or freeze them for a quick, ready-made treat that can be enjoyed straight from the freezer.
