Ingredients

  • 2 cups coconut milk
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • ½ cup shredded coconut
  • ¼ cup coconut flour
  • 4-5 dates chopped
  • 2-3 tbsp cocoa powder or carob powder for AIP
  • + 2 tbsp cup melted coconut butter
  • 1 tbsp melted coconut oil
  • 1 tsp peppermint extract

Instructions

  • Using a medium size sauce pan, combine the coconut milk and maple syrup and set it on the stove on medium heat
  • Bring the mixture to a boil and simmer for 90 minutes to reduce. I suggest potentially using a splatter guard as the coconut milk may splatter. Stir the mixture occasionally
  • Once the mixture is reduced, stir in the shredded coconut, coconut flour, dates, 1 tbsp of cocoa or carob powder, and peppermint extract
  • Allow the mixture to cool in the fridge for 2-3 hours, or overnight
  • Once entirely cooled, roll the mixture into small truffles and set aside
  • Combine 1/3 cup of fully melted coconut butter with 1 tbsp of melted coconut oil and stir in 2 tbsp of carob or cocoa powder until the mixture looks like chocolate
  • Using a spoon, submerge the truffles one by one in the chocolate mixture until evenly coated. Dip twice or make more of the coating if needed.
  • Set the truffles on parchment paper and drizzle the top with 2 tbsp of melted coconut butter to give a white drizzle
  • Chill in the fridge for 30 minutes or so to let the coating harden
  • Serve chilled and enjoy!
