What You’ll Need

  • Cashew butter – any nut/seed butter will work, the taste will change slightly. The runnier the better!
  • Maple syrup
  • Vanilla extract
  • Almond extract
  • Vanilla protein powder – My current favorites are this plant-based (code callascleaneats) and this grass-fed one!
  • Coconut flour
  • White chocolate chips
  • Coconut oil
  • Sea salt
  • Sprinkles – optional for topping. These are my favorite!

How To Make

Prepare a plate or tray, big enough to fit in the freezer, with parchment paper. To start making the truffles mix all of the ingredients (except for white chocolate and coconut oil) together in a bowl until a thick dough forms.

Roll the dough into balls (smaller will make more, larger will make less) and place on the tray. Place them in the freezer for at least 1 to 2 hours until completely set!

To make the chocolate coating, melt white chocolate chips with coconut oil in the microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring between each. Another way to do this is by using a double boiler method – filling a saucepan with a little water and placing a bowl with the chocolate on top, letting the water boil until the chocolate is completely melted.

Next, dip each truffle into the melted white chocolate and place back on the tray. If you want to add sprinkles, do that next. Stick them back in the freezer for 30 minutes to harden and they’re ready for snacking!
