Coconut Chocolate Truffles, now these are delicious but even I, a chocoholic can’t manage more than two at a time because I have so say they are quite rich.
So easy to make, that you could ask the kids to be chief ball rollers!
Now you can use any kind of coconut oil in this recipe, but my coconut oil of choice is always going to be Lucy Bee coconut oil.
I’ve used other brands in the past but for me Lucy Bee has a lovely flavour and you can really taste the difference.
I also use agave nectar in my recipe, you can use date syrup but I find that makes the truffles taste quite sickly.
This recipe makes sixteen small balls, but if you want to go large they you’ll get less in quantity.
Coconut Chocolate Truffles Ingredients
- 8 tablespoons raw cacao
- 2 tablespoons agave nectar
- 2 tablespoons of Lucy Bee Coconut Oil (or whatever brand you are using) plus a bit extra if you need it
- 2 pinches of sea salt
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 6 drops of liquid stevia
- 6 tablespoons of chia seeds
Coconut Chocolate Truffles Method
- Melt the coconut oil in a saucepan over a low heat until it melts.
- Allow the melted coconut oil to cool.
- Combine the cacao, agave nectar, melted coconut oil, salt, vanilla and stevia in a medium sized bowl.
- Mix well until it forms a paste like mixture.
- Using your hands work it into a smooth mixture, add more coconut oil if you need to.
- Pour the chia seeds into a shallow dish.
- Form the cacao mixture into 16 balls (or whatever number you like)
- Roll each one into the chia seeds, coating each one evenly.
- Chill in the fridge until ready to eat.
Delicious!
