Ingredients
Matcha Truffle Centers
- 1 ½ cups almond flour
- 2 tablespoons matcha powder
- 3 tablespoons maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Chocolate Coating
- 1 cup white chocolate chips or dairy-free white chocolate
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil
Optional Toppings
- Green sprinkles
- Crushed pistachios
- Shredded coconut
- Gold sugar pearls
Instructions
- Make the matcha filling
- In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, matcha powder, and salt. Add maple syrup, melted coconut oil, and vanilla. Stir until a soft dough forms.
- Roll into truffles
- Scoop about 1 tablespoon of dough and roll into balls. Place on a parchment-lined tray and freeze for 15–20 minutes until firm.
- Melt the chocolate
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt white chocolate with coconut oil in 20-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth.
- Coat the truffles
- Using a fork, dip each chilled truffle into melted chocolate. Tap off excess and place back on parchment paper.
- Decorate
- Before the coating sets, sprinkle with green sprinkles, crushed nuts, or coconut.
- Chill to set
- Refrigerate for 10–15 minutes until the coating hardens. Serve chilled or slightly softened.
Notes
- Use culinary-grade matcha for best flavor and color in desserts.
- If the dough feels too dry, add 1 teaspoon melted coconut oil.
- If too sticky, mix in a little more almond flour.
- Store truffles in the fridge for up to 1 week or freeze for up to 2 months.
