GUYS. These were amazing! So simple to make and they make the perfect dessert, not too big but just the perfect amount of sweetness to fight off any chocolate cravings.
They also store well in the fridge and don’t melt immediately at room temperature which is great!(No mess!)
Ingredients:
-1/4 cup(60g) Cream Cheese
-1/2 cup(63g) Almond Flour
-2 tbsp(15g) Flaked or Shredded Unsweetened Coconut
-2 tsp Truvia
-2 tsp Splenda (or to taste)
-1/8 tsp vanilla extract
-1/8 tsp almond extract
-1/16 tsp coconut extract(optional)
-1/16 tsp salt
-10 whole almonds
Chocolate Coating:
-1tsp coconut oil
-1/4 cup(60g) sugar-free chocolate chips(I use Krisda)
Topping(optional)
-Additional shredded coconut
-Finely chopped almonds
-Pinch of sweetener
(Combine on a plate or in a shallow bowl)
Directions:
1. Combine all base ingredients except the whole almonds until a thick dough forms.
2. Freeze the dough for 5-7min.
3. Roll the dough into 10 small balls, placing an almond in the center of each one.
4. Freeze the dough balls on parchment for 10min.
5. Melt the chocolate-chips and coconut oil in the microwave (1-1:30min), stir until smooth.
6. Dip each ball, using a fork into the chocolate and then coat with the topping mixture.
7. Place the truffles on parchment and repeat with the rest of the the dough.
8. Freeze the truffles until chocolate is set (8-10min).
9. Store in an air-tight container in the fridge or freezer and enjoy!

Those look incredibly good! Do you think I can leave out the sweeteners? I have a bad reaction to those. Sharing this on my FB Tea page! Thanks for sharing this.
Hey!! I’m sure you could. I don’t how it will taste without them. Maybe just add in a teeny bit of sugar (2 tbsp or so). It shouldn’t hurt considering each serving isn’t very large! & That’s amazing! Thank you for sharing! 🙂
Definitely going to try this with white chocolate chips!
Awesome!! I actually wanted to do that too!! Great minds think alike. Haha.
Just made these! So so good! I just used 4 tbsp of the sweetener I had on had instead of two different sweeteners and they were absolutely fantastic!
Oops I meant 4 teaspoons…not tablespoons. LOL
Hahaha
That’s awesome! I’m glad you made it work for you ! 😀 Thanks for commenting.
How many is considered a serving?
1 ball!
Just wondering why you use Truvia and Splenda and if I could just use stevia instead of those 2.
Yes you definitely could! I just prefer the taste of the 2 combined but it’s totally up to personal preference! ☺️ Just note that truvia is 3x sweeter than sugar when replacing it.
have you tried this with Monk fruit sweetener or liquid stevia? I am looking for a lower carb option.
I haven’t but I’m sure it would work just fine with either! 🙂
