No Bake Chocolate Truffles {gluten, dairy & egg-free, with nut-free option}
Description
Gluten, dairy & egg-free, with nut-free option.
Ingredients
Scale
- 5 TB coconut cream concentrate, softened (I used homemade coconut butter
- 4 TB raw cacao powder
- 1 TB vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup coconut milk
- 1 TB raw honey (or more)
- 1/2 cup chopped nuts (I used crispy pecans and hazlenuts*)
Instructions
- (Soften coconut butter or cream.)
- (Chop nuts and place in a bowl for rolling.)
- Add all ingredients except nuts to a food processor and pulse (or mix by hand in a bowl) until well-combined and smooth.
- Refrigerate mixture about 20 minutes until it hardens a bit, but is still soft enough to roll into balls.
- Form into small balls and roll in chopped nuts.
- Store in the fridge. (They’ll harden even more when you leave them in the fridge for an hour or so.)
- Enjoy!
Notes
*For nut-free, use extra cacao powder and/or shredded coconut for rolling.

Sounds yum. Will have to give this a try. 🙂
Sounds delish, how do you make your coconut butter Kathleen?
In the blender, Linda! So easy: just add shredded coconut to a high speed blender and blend until smooth-ish. You’ll need to stop now and then to scrape down the sides and give the motor a rest. If you don’t have a high powered blender (like a Vitamix or Blendtec), you may need to add a bit of coconut oil. Or you can buy premade coconut butter, but it’s kinda pricey. Hope that helps!
Brilliant, thank you Kathleen. Have a brilliant weekend 🙂
