GUYS. These Almond Joy Cheesecake Truffles 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!)
Some Ingredients I'd Like to Highlight:
- Truvia and Splenda -I have now switched over to only using a monkfruit/erythritol blend sweetener in all of my recipes since originally writing this post. I MUCH prefer the taste and affect it has on the body. I use the SoNourished brand for both granular and powdered sweetener and love it!
- Almond Flour – I use the Kirkland Costco brand of almond flour (I buy it in bulk on Amazon or at Costco itself occasionally) for this recipe. As I’ve noted in many of my past recipes, the brand of almond can affect the final outcome of the recipe because absorbency can vary depending on how the flour has been processed.
Tools I used:
- Camera – I get a lot of questions asking what I take my photos with..I typically use my iphone OR this Nikon Camera (It’s honestly amazing!)
- Nutritional Scale – I’ve used this scale for almost every single recipe on this blog…I’ve had it for over 4 years and it’s still yet to fail me! I only replace the batteries maybe once per year.

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! 🙂
Where do you get almond flour, or do you mix it your self?
I don’t understand the abbreviations on the nutrition. Can you help me understand them, please?
About how many calories are in one ball
These are awesome! I coated them with coconut oil and Safeway brand 85% dark chocolate (lowest carbs I could find while still sweetened) and they totally satisfied my sweet craving. Thank you!

I used Trivia and Swerve powdered sugar. Swerve is Amazing tasting! These no bake almond joy cheesecake truffles are to die for..Very very very delectable and will be my go to keto desert.
