Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 150 g dark chocolate, at least 70% cocoa
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 150 g non-fat Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 pinch sea salt
Instructions
Begin by breaking the dark chocolate into small pieces and placing them into a microwave-safe bowl.
Microwave the chocolate in 20-second increments, stirring in between, until completely melted and smooth.
In a separate mixing bowl, combine the non-fat Greek yogurt, honey, pure vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt. Stir well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
Gently fold the melted dark chocolate into the yogurt mixture, ensuring a smooth, unified consistency.
Place the mixture into the refrigerator for about 30 minutes, or until firm enough to handle.
Once the mixture has solidified, use a small spoon or a melon baller to scoop out portions of the truffle mixture.
Roll each scoop between your hands to form small balls.
Pour the unsweetened cocoa powder onto a plate. Roll each truffle ball in the cocoa powder to coat evenly.
Place the finished truffles onto a clean plate. Refrigerate for an additional hour for best results before serving.
Store any leftover truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
