Ingredients
    For the Truffles
  • 1 1/4 cups almond flour
  • 1/4 cup cacao powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 4 ounces cottage cheese (4% small curd)
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons butter (softened, grass fed is best)
  • 1/4-1/2 tsp peppermint extract
    • For the Chocolate Coating
  • 100 grams dark chocolate chips
  • 1 tablespoon cashew butter
Instructions
  1. 1
    Add the almond flour, cacao powder, salt, cottage cheese, maple syrup, softened butter, and peppermint extract to a food processor. Blend until the mixture is smooth, thick, and fully combined with no visible cottage cheese curds.
  2. 2
    Use a cookie scoop or spoon to form 16 evenly sized truffles. Place the truffles onto a parchment lined baking sheet or plate.
  3. 3
    Transfer the truffles to the freezer for 20 minutes to firm up.
  4. 4
    Add the dark chocolate chips and cashew butter to a microwave safe bowl. Microwave in 20 second intervals, stirring between each round, until the chocolate is melted and smooth.
  5. 5
    Dip each chilled truffle into the melted chocolate, letting the excess drip off.
  6. 6
    Place the coated truffles back onto the parchment lined tray. Freeze for 5 to 10 minutes, or until the chocolate coating is set.
  7. 7
    Enjoy right away or store in the fridge for a cold chocolatey treat.
