Ingredients
  

For the Truffles:
  • 6 oz white chocolate for coating
  • 1 cup coconut milk cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 1 cup coconut flakes
  • 1 cup roasted whole peeled hazelnuts for rolling

Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Double boiler or microwave-safe bowl
  • Cookie scoop or tablespoon
  • Wax paper or parchment paper
  • Food processor

Method
 

Instructions:
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the coconut milk cream, almond flour, vanilla extract, and coconut flakes. Stir until well combined and the mixture is thick but smooth.
  2. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the mixture for about 30 minutes. This will help it firm up, making it easier to shape into truffles.
  3. Once the mixture is chilled, use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to portion out small amounts of the filling. Roll each portion into a ball, about 1 inch in diameter, and place them on a baking sheet lined with wax paper.
  4. Using a double boiler or microwave, melt the white chocolate until smooth. If using the microwave, heat in 30-second intervals, stirring in between to avoid burning.
  5. Once the chocolate is melted, dip each truffle into the chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated. Use a fork to lift the truffles out, allowing excess chocolate to drip off.
  6. Immediately roll each chocolate-coated truffle in the chopped roasted hazelnuts, ensuring they are well covered. Return them to the baking sheet.
  7. Let the truffles sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes to allow the chocolate to set. Alternatively, you can place them in the refrigerator for quicker setting.

Notes

  • Chill the mixture well to make shaping easier.
  • Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor.
  • These truffles freeze well, so make a batch for later!
