These have a true truffle-like texture and are undeniably delicious. Everyone will love them. The dough can be a little sticky, so make the truffle balls and then after they freeze for 20 minutes or longer, reshape them into perfect little balls. You may also coat them with the melted chocolate or eat them as they are.
In a bowl, add the almond flour, powdered sugar, cocoa and whisk to break up any lumps.
Next, dump all the ingredients into the stand mixer bowl and mix for 1-2 minutes on medium. If the dough is very sticky, add one more tablespoon of almond flour.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Be sure it fits in the freezer. Shape a tablespoon of dough into a ball. Chill for 15-20 minutes or until somewhat solid.
Dip in melted chocolate or enjoy as they are.
Tip: melt chocolate in a metal bowl over a pot filled with boiling water. Be very careful as the bowl will be hot. Turn off flame. Use an over mitt to handle bowl. Using a spoon dip the truffle ball in the melted chocolate and shake off the excess, then place onto a parchment-lined baking sheet that will fit in freezer. If you prefer to create a perfect ball with no flat base, secure the balls onto a toothpick and place onto a food safe styrofoam base to set in freezer.
These are amazing and a yummy gluten-free option for guests.
