Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour – adds a nutty base that’s both flavorful and gluten-free.
- 2 tbsp coconut flour – provides extra texture and absorbs moisture for a perfect truffle consistency.
- 3 tbsp maple syrup – naturally sweetens the truffles while complementing the almond flavor.
- 1/4 cup almond butter – brings creamy richness and helps bind the ingredients together.
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract – a subtle enhancer to elevate the flavors.
- 1/2 cup raspberry preserves or jam – for that sweet, fruity filling that bursts with flavor in every bite.
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips, melted – forms a smooth, luscious coating for the truffles.
- Dried rose petals (optional) – for an elegant garnish that adds floral notes and visual appeal.
Substitution Tip: If you have nut allergies, try using sunflower seed butter in place of almond butter for a nut-free version!
Instructions
Step 1: Create the Dough
- In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, maple syrup, almond butter, and vanilla extract. Stir until a smooth dough forms, making sure all ingredients are well incorporated.
Step 2: Add the Raspberry Filling
- Scoop out a small portion of the dough, flatten it in the palm of your hand, and add a small dollop of raspberry preserves in the center. Carefully fold the dough around the preserves to form a ball, ensuring the filling is sealed within.
Step 3: Freeze the Truffles
- Arrange the truffle balls on a baking sheet and place them in the freezer for 15-20 minutes. Freezing helps the truffles firm up, making them easier to coat in chocolate later.
Step 4: Dip in Chocolate
- Melt the dark chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring every 15 seconds until smooth. Dip each truffle into the melted chocolate, letting any excess chocolate drip off before placing it back on the baking sheet.
Step 5: Garnish and Set
- For a beautiful finishing touch, sprinkle dried rose petals over each truffle while the chocolate is still soft. Allow the truffles to set at room temperature or refrigerate them for a quicker set.
