Ingredients
  

Ingredients

  • 1 cup almond butter 200g
  • ½ cup almond flour 50-75g, adjust based on thickness of almond butter
  • 8 drops stevia equivalent to 2 teaspoons of sugar
  • 2 tablespoons sugar-free syrup
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon optional
  • 2.3 oz sugar-free chocolate 70g, or chocolate with 90% cocoa solids or unsweetened chocolate for coating

Instructions
 

Almond Butter Truffles

  • In a mixing bowl, combine the almond butter, almond flour, stevia, sugar-free syrup, and optional cinnamon. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated and a dough-like consistency forms.
  • If the mixture is too sticky, add a bit more almond flour until you reach a manageable consistency that is easy to roll into balls.
  • Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, portion out the mixture and roll it into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter. Place each truffle on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  • Refrigerate the truffles for about 30 minutes to firm them up. This step is crucial as it makes the truffles easier to coat in chocolate later on.
  • While the truffles are chilling, melt your sugar-free chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl or double boiler until smooth. Be careful not to overheat the chocolate; stir it gently as it melts.
  • Once the truffles are firm, dip each one into the melted chocolate, ensuring they are fully coated. Use a fork to lift them out and allow any excess chocolate to drip off before placing them back on the parchment-lined baking sheet.
  • Place the coated truffles back in the refrigerator for another 15-20 minutes to allow the chocolate to set.
  • Once the chocolate has hardened, your Almond Butter Truffles are ready to enjoy! Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge.

Notes

  • Make sure your almond butter is well-stirred to avoid a runny mixture.
  • Do not skip the chilling steps; they help maintain shape and make coating easier.
  • Be careful when melting chocolate to prevent it from seizing.
  • If truffles are too crumbly, add more syrup or almond butter to bind.
  • Substitute ingredients to accommodate dietary preferences like nut-free or vegan.
