Servings: 11
Calories: 147kcal
Ingredients
- 2/3 cup Raw pecans, finely chopped
- 3 tbsp Cacao paste or 100% dark, unsweetened chocolate, chopped
- 1/2 cup Coconut butter, melted
- 2 tbsp Raw Honey or Maple Syrup
- 1/2 tsp Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Fine sea salt
- 1/2 cup Unsweetened Shredded Coconut
- 2 tbsp Semisweet mini chocolate chips - Dairy/Soy-Free Brand
Instructions
- Melt the cacao paste slowly in a bowl over simmering water (double boiler).
- Mix in the chopped pecans, 4 tablespoons of melted coconut butter (reserve the remaining ¼ cup for dipping), honey, vanilla extract and salt, until all ingredients are well combined.
- Scoop 1 tablespoonful of dough onto a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Using your hands, shape each truffle into 1-inch balls. The batter will be slightly crumbly, so shape each truffle gently and set it on the pan.
- Insert a lollipop stick into the center of each truffle and freeze for 20 minutes.
- Dip chilled truffles, one at the time, in melted coconut butter, then roll in shredded coconut. Set truffles back on the parchment paper.
- Press three chocolate chips into each truffle to create a cute face.
- Keep refrigerated as the coconut butter melts at temperatures above 72°F.
