Ingredients

For the Truffles:

For the Coating:

  • 1 and ½ cups Paleo friendly chocolate chips
  • 2 tsp coconut oil
  • unsweetened coconut optional
  • cocoa/cacao powder optional

Instructions

To prepare the truffles:

  • Add the chocolate chips, coconut milk, ghee, and sugar to a medium pot. Heat on low heat, stirring frequently, until the chocolate has completely melted.
  • Once the mixture is melted and smooth, remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Pour into a glass bowl or glass 8x8 pan. Cool to room temperature and then refrigerate until completely chilled, about 2 hours.
  • Once the chocolate is chilled, scoop into 1 tablespoon balls an place on a wax paper lined baking sheet. Repeat for the remaining chocolate, it'll be about 20-24 truffles depending on size.
  • Freeze truffles for 30 minutes and then shape the truffles into round balls. Place in the freezer while preparing the coating.

To make the chocolate coating:

  • Add the 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips and 2 tsp coconut oil to a microwave safe bowl. Melt at 50% power for 1 minute. Stir well then continue to heat at 50% power for 20 second intervals until the chocolate is melted and smooth.
  • Dip the truffles into the chocolate, one at a time, and then place back on the wax paper lined baking sheet. Dip all the truffles then refrigerate until hardened. Store truffles in an air-tight container in the refrigerator. Bring to room temperature before serving. 
  • You can also roll the truffles in unsweetened cocoa/cacao powder or unsweetened coconut instead of dipping in chocolate.

Notes

*Coconut oil can be used in place of the ghee for a dairy free version.
