Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Almond flour
- 0.25 cups Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 cups Powdered sugar (for mixture)
- 0.5 cups Powdered sugar (for coating)
- 0.5 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 0.5 teaspoons Almond extract
- 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter (softened)
- 2 tablespoons Milk (or non-dairy alternative)
- 0.25 cups Toasted almonds (finely chopped)
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine almond flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, and 1/2 cup of powdered sugar. Stir until evenly blended.
Melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl by microwaving in 20-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth.
Add the softened butter, melted chocolate, almond extract, and vanilla extract into the almond flour mixture. Mix well until all ingredients are combined.
Gradually add the milk, one tablespoon at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition, until the mixture holds together like dough.
Fold in the chopped toasted almonds for added texture and flavor.
Using your hands, scoop out about 1 tablespoon of the mixture and roll it into a smooth ball. Repeat until all the dough is used, making approximately 12 balls.
Place the remaining 1/2 cup of powdered sugar in a shallow bowl. Roll each ball in the powdered sugar until fully coated, giving it the 'snowball' appearance.
Arrange the chocolate almond snowballs on a plate or in an airtight container. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow them to firm up before serving.
Serve chilled and enjoy!
