Ingredients

  • *Truffle Filling*
  • 1 cup coconut butter NOT coconut oil
  • 1 3/4 cup fresh raspberries
  • 3 Tablespoons pure maple syrup
  • *For The Chocolate*
  • 2 cups dark chocolate chips
  • 6 Tablespoons unsweetened almond milk

Instructions

  • *First thing* If your coconut butter is hard, put the jar in a pot or bowl of hot water to let the coconut butter soften for about 15 minutes before you start.*
  • Put your truffle filling ingredients, the coconut butter, the raspberries and the maple syrup together in a food processor with the S-blade and process until smooth and well blended (you may need to stop and scrape the sides a couple times)
  • When the filling is done, scoop out balls with a small ice cream scoop onto a parchment paper lined pan and put those in the freezer
  • Give them at least 15-30 minutes to firm up well
  • When you remove the balls from the freezer, stick a toothpick in the top of each of them for dipping purposes
  • Melt your chocolate chips/almond milk mixture in a metal bowl over a pot of simmering water - NOT allowing the bowl to touch the water. Keep stirring as they are melting until you get a very smooth consistency and then turn off the heat
  • Take each frozen ball and dip in the melted chocolate using a spoon to help get them completely covered
  • Place each chocolate coated ball back on a parchment lined pan, remove the toothpicks and put them all in the freezer for an hour or so
  • After they're frozen, remove from the pan and put in an airtight container and store in the freezer.
  • Remove from freezer a few minutes before serving
  • Makes approximately 24 truffles
