10 minutes mins
Time 2 hours hrs
- 1 1/2 cups dark chocolate chips
- 3/4 cup creamy almond butter
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 Tablespoon Luce Farm Hemp-Infused Coconut Oil
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
Pour chocolate chips and almond butter into a small pot and place on the stove over the lowest heat possible. Stir constantly, turning off the heat as soon as about half the chocolate is melted- the rest will continue to melt from the heat of the pot. Once all the chocolate is melted, add salt and hemp-infused coconut oil, stirring until completely smooth.
Allow the chocolate mixture to harden by either: placing the pot directly into the fridge for about 90 minutes, pouring into a shallow bowl and placing in the fridge for about 60 minutes, or letting sit at room temperature for 2-3 hours. Alternately, this mixture can be made up to a week in advance of rolling into truffles: simply store in the fridge and allow to sit at room temperature for about 20 minutes before scooping.
When chocolate mixture is firm enough to scoop, use a small cookie scoop or a heaping tablespoon to portion truffles into balls. Gently roll between the palms of your hands to help smooth them out, then pour the cocoa powder into a small bowl and roll each truffle in cocoa.
These truffles have the silkiest texture when stored at room temperature (up to 1 week), though will last for up to a month in the fridge. If chilled, remove truffles 15 minutes before serving to allow them to soften up. These truffles will absorb most of the cocoa powder after about 1 day of sitting, but can always be re-rolled in cocoa before serving, to make them look pretty again!
Any chocolate you love, chopped into small pieces and measured after chopping, will work here. 1 10oz bag of chocolate chips yields 1 1/2 cups + 1 Tablespoon, just FYI.
All-natural almond butter (made without any added oil or sugar) works best in this recipe. If using unsalted almond butter, increase the sea salt in the recipe to a heaping 1/4 teaspoon.
