Truffles Chocolate Almond Paleo

Truffles Chocolate Almond Paleo

In this time of celebration, I propose to revisit a classic: the chocolate truffle paleo!

A reader of the blog pointed out to me that all my recipes contained coconut: what do we do if we do not like the taste?

Another reader blew me it is not always necessary to resort to "weird" ingredients (that is to say, not easily find-able: coconut oil , coconut flour, etc.).

So for those truffles, no coconut oil, and only a bit special ingredient: almond butter. If you do not have trade, it is very easy to make homemade from almonds.

These truffles can be served at the end of a good Christmas meal with coffee or tea.

The recipe provides a dozen truffles.

Preparation: 15 min

Refrigeration: 2 hours minimum

Ingredients

• 2 large tablespoons of almond butter
• 2-3 tablespoons of coffee
• 1 teaspoon honey (eg. acacia honey, very fragrant)
• Half a teaspoon of vanilla extract or orange flower water
• 50 grams of dark chocolate (74%)
• 1 pinch of salt

Preparation

1. In a bowl, mix the almond butter, coffee, honey, and vanilla extract (or orange blossom).
2. Make small balls in the palm of your hand, and place them on a baking sheet covered with parchment paper.
3. Melt the chocolate in a double boiler, and when it is creamy, dip them almond balls. You can use it for two teaspoons or a toothpick.
4. Place the truffles and formed on the baking sheet, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
5. Present these almond chocolate truffles in these little boxes made of paper (like the picture at the top of the article), and enjoy!
