Ingredients

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, add almond butter, shredded coconut, sliced almond, ½ cup chocolate chips and butter together. Mix well until combined.
  • The dough will be a bit runny. Cover the dough tightly with aluminum foil or plastic wrap and chill for 30 minutes.
  • Using a cookie scoop, or your hands, form into small balls.
  • Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and place in the freezer for 20 minutes.
  • In a microwave-safe bowl, melt ¾ cup chocolate chips for 30 secs. Remove from the microwave and stir well. Repeat the process, stopping to stir every 15-seconds until the mixture is totally melted.
  • Dip the truffles in the melted chocolate, and then sprinkle some chopped almond on top.
  • Return them to the freezer to harden. Store the truffles in the refrigerator. Enjoy!

Notes

  • When melting the chocolate, make sure there's no liquid in the bowl, as it'll cause the chocolate to seize. 
  • If you don't have chocolate chips, you can also melt chocolate baking bars. 
  • If the almond butters has separated, make sure to mix it well before using.
  • Add more depth of flavor by toasting the almonds.
  • To store: Keep the chocolate truffles covered in the fridge for up to 5 days.
  • To freeze: You can freeze the truffles for up to 3 months in a freezer-safe bag or container.
