Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup almond flour or hazelnut meal for extra nuttiness
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder use Dutch-processed for deeper color
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil melted (refined for neutral flavor)
  • 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream sub coconut cream for dairy-free
  • 1/2 cup sugar-free dark chocolate chips I like Lily’s brand
  • 2 tbsp erythritol or monk fruit sweetener adjust to taste
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • Pinch flaky sea salt Maldon work wonders

Instructions
 

  • In a mixing bowl, whisk almond flour, cocoa powder, erythritol, and salt until fully blended—no lumps hiding.
  • Gently warm coconut oil and heavy cream in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly until just melted and smooth.
  • Remove from heat and fold in sugar-free chips, vanilla extract, and the dry mix until you have a glossy, thick batter—think fudgy brownie batter.
  • Cover the bowl and let it rest in the fridge for 20–30 minutes; this helps it firm up for rolling.
  • Scoop tablespoon-sized portions and roll between your palms into 1-inch balls—if the mix sticks, dust your hands lightly with almond flour.
  • Roll each ball in your choice of coating—coconut, pistachio, or extra cocoa powder—for a pretty finish.
  • Place truffles on a parchment-lined tray and chill another 15 minutes so they hold their shape.

Notes

If your mixture feels too wet, add a teaspoon more almond flour at a time until it holds its shape. For creamier truffles, swap half the coconut oil for grass-fed butter. I learned that higher-fat cocoa powder really brings out richness—avoid generic brands. Don’t skip the resting time; it’s the secret to clean rolling. Play with toppings: I sometimes sprinkle flaky sea salt on top for a salty-sweet pop.
