Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 135 grams roasted hazelnuts (filberts)
  • 3 tbsp cocoa powder
  • 1/4 tsp fine sea salt
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Method
 

  1. Add all ingredients to a food processor and blend until the mixture sticks together.
  2. Roll the mixture into 1-inch balls.
  3. Refrigerate for 20–30 minutes to allow truffles to set.
  4. Optional: Roll finished truffles in extra cocoa powder or crushed hazelnuts before serving.

Notes

Sweetness can be adjusted to taste. For a sweeter truffle, add one Medjool date to the food processor or increase the maple syrup slightly. Always check ingredient labels, as sensitivities can vary for those with alpha-gal syndrome.
