Snowball Truffles
- Coconut Filling:
- 1 cup finely shredded unsweetened coconut
- 5 tablespoons So Delicious Dairy Free Original Coconut Milk
- 1/2 packet stevia powder
- Chocolate Truffle:
- 1 1/2 cups ground raw almonds
- 1/2 cup cacao powder
- 1/4 cup chocolate protein powder
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
- 12 pitted dates, chopped
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 tablespoons coconut oil (melted if solid)
- Topping:
- 1 1/2 cups finely shredded unsweetened coconut, for rolling truffles
- Coconut filling: Blend coconut, coconut milk, vanilla, and sweetener together.
- Refrigerate for about 10 minutes.
- Form chilled mixture into balls (about 1/2 teaspoon mixture each).
- Balls should be about the size of a small marble.
- Refrigerate or freeze coconut balls until ready to be wrapped in the chocolate truffle mixture.
- Chocolate truffles: Process nuts to a coarse crumb texture in a food processor.
- Add the cacao powder, protein powder, and salt; pulse until combined.
- Add vanilla and half of the dates; pulse until combined.
- Add remaining dates and coconut oil.
- Pulse until the mixture is well blended and sticks together when pressed between your fingers.
- Divide into 36 balls, about 1 teaspoon each (form the same number as the coconut balls).
- Flatten the chocolate balls so they can be molded around the coconut balls.
- Sprinkle coconut on a plate or in a bowl.
- Roll balls in coconut and place on a rimmed cookie sheet or shallow container in a single layer.
- Refrigerate until firm, about 30 minutes.
- After truffles have set, enjoy immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator or freezer.
- They will keep longer in the freezer (up to a month), or 2 weeks in the refrigerator.
- Enjoy!
