I baked this Vegan Almond Butter Truffles for my sister’s summer party last weekend. The almond butter stayed smooth under the shell, and my coworker liked them.
Delicious Vegan Almond Butter Truffles Recipe
This recipe yields decadent truffles that combine the creaminess of almond butter with the bitterness of high-quality dark chocolate. Perfectly sized for a quick indulgence, these truffles take about 30 minutes to prepare and set, making them a convenient vegan dessert option.
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond butter
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips (vegan)
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- Pinch of salt
- Chopped nuts or shredded coconut for rolling (optional)
Instructions
- Mix the Filling: In a bowl, combine almond butter, maple syrup, vanilla extract, almond flour, and a pinch of salt. Mix until well incorporated.
- Form the Balls: Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of the mixture and roll into balls. Place them on a lined baking sheet and refrigerate for 15-20 minutes to firm up.
- Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine dark chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until fully melted and smooth.
- Coat the Truffles: Dip each almond butter ball into the melted chocolate, letting the excess drip off. Place back on the baking sheet. Optionally, roll in chopped nuts or coconut for added texture.
- Set the Truffles: Refrigerate the coated truffles for an additional 20-30 minutes until the chocolate shell hardens.
- Serve: Enjoy your Vegan Almond Butter Truffles chilled or at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
