Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 0.25 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 cup Natural almond butter
- 0.5 cup Powdered erythritol or any preferred sugar substitute
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons Coconut oil, melted
- 0.25 cup Unsweetened shredded coconut (optional, for coating)
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, and powdered erythritol. Stir well to ensure that the dry ingredients are evenly mixed.
Add the natural almond butter, vanilla extract, and melted coconut oil to the dry ingredients. Using a spatula or your hands, mix the ingredients until a thick, homogenous mixture is formed. It should easily come together into a dough-like consistency.
If desired, lightly grease your hands with a little coconut oil to prevent the mixture from sticking. Pinch off sections of the mixture and roll them gently but firmly between your palms to form 1-inch balls.
If using the unsweetened shredded coconut for coating, spread it out on a plate. Roll each chocolate ball in the coconut until evenly coated.
Place the prepared chocolate balls onto a parchment-lined tray or plate.
Refrigerate the chocolate balls for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will help them firm up nicely.
Once set, enjoy these gluten-free low carb chocolate balls as a perfect snack or dessert. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
