Description

Ingredients

• ¼ cup almond butter
• ¼ cup coconut oil
• 1-2 Tbsp. maple syrup
• 6 Tbsp. raw cacao or baking cocoa
• Pinch of sea salt (if almond butter is unsalted)
• 1 Tbsp. coconut flour
• Few drops of peppermint extract, to taste
• 6 ounces white chocolate chips (1 cup)
• ½ tsp. coconut oil
• 1 candy cane, crushed, for garnish (such as TruJoy Sweets candy canes which are free of gluten, dairy, soy, corn syrup and artificial colors)

Directions

• Place almond butter, coconut oil, maple syrup and cacao powder in the bowl of a food processor. Process until smooth, stopping to scrape down sides as needed.
• Stop processor and add coconut flour. Process just until a ball of dough starts to form. Add peppermint extract and process again until mixed well.
• Working quickly, roll dough between your palms to form 12 equal sized balls. Place on plate in the fridge and allow to chill at least 30 minutes.
• When ready to dip, place chocolate chips and coconut oil in glass bowl set over a pan of simmering water to simulate a double boiler. Stir occasionally until completely melted and smooth.
• Using a fork or wooden skewer, work quickly and carefully dip truffles one at a time into the melted chocolate, rolling and dunking until evenly coated on all sides. Sprinkle with crushed candy canes, if desired.
• Transfer to a parchment lined baking sheet and return to the fridge until chocolate hardens.
• Store truffles in a covered container on the counter for up to 3 days or in the fridge for up to 2 weeks. If refrigerated, allow truffles to sit at room temperature for 20-30 minutes before serving to allow centers to soften a bit.
