No Bake Cookie Dough Truffles
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour
- ⅔ cup dates
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil melted
- 3 tablespoons almond butter
- 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla
- heaping 1/8 teaspoon sea salt
- 2-3 tablespoons mini chocolate chips to taste
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
Instructions
- In a large food processor add almond flour, dates, coconut oil, almond butter, vanilla, and sea salt. Run the food processor for about 1 minute -- you want the dates to break down and for all the ingredients to form a dough that's sticky enough to form into a ball when pressed together. Pulse a few extra times if you need to.
- Add mini chips into the food processor and pulse just a few times so that chips mix into the dough without breaking down.
- Unplug the food processor, remove dough onto a piece of wax paper. A heaping tablespoon at a time, roll dough in your hands to form 12 balls. Place on a parchment lined small baking sheet. Chill in the freezer for 10 minutes.
- While the cookie dough bites chill, melt dark chocolate and 1 tablespoon coconut oil using a double boiler (ideally), or on very low heat in a saucepan or melt in in microwave. Pro tip: If you make lots of recipes with melted chocolate, a double boiler is great because it melts the chocolate slowly so that it is smooth and doesn't over cook/ seize up.
- Remove chocolate from heat.
- Using a fork, toothpick or fingers, quickly dip chilled cookie dough bite in the melted chocolate and place back on the parchment lined baking sheet. Drizzle extra chocolate over the tops if you like. Place back in the freezer or in the refrigerator for about 10 -15 minutes for chocolate to set.
- Store truffles in an air tight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks or freezer for a month.
- Enjoy!
These were amazing! We just used tongs to dunk the frozen balls into the chocolate, super easy. We will be making these again soon.
So happy you love them too! Thank you!
These truffle balls were so delicious! Straight onto the next batch, as the first miraculously disappeared… ? Didn’t even coat them in chocolate. They were divine just like that. But of course pretty with a chocolate coat. Thank you, Karen. ?
Happy you love them too! I actually have been keeping one batch in my fridge without chocolate and one with! Without chocolate is just the treat I need some days! Thank you!
Looks good, but I would appreciate a version of all recipes in metric.
Great feedback! I will look in to adding that to my recipes!
These were so easy to make and such a good and healthy snack! I’ll definitely be making these again.
Thanks so much Arielle! Happy you love them as much as we do!
Can these be made with all purpose gf flour and peanut butter?
My son is allergic to nuts but not peanuts. Thank you.
You could certainly substitute peanut butter! As they are not baked, I would not use all purpose flour, but rather would try substituting oat flour — you can make your own (which is what I do) but grinding your oats in a food processor.
Yum. Very chocolate.
So yummy, right? Happy you love them too!
Do you have to use dates?
These look so delicious! Can I skip the dates or use something else in their place?
Great question! I’ve never made them without dates…
I made these truffles today and they are so delicious!!! They are very easy to make and perfect for a healthy little snack/dessert.
I will definitely make them again and again just like the peanut butter bars 😀.
Yay! So happy you love them too! Thank you!
