Bites and Truffles!
Um… delicious. Here are 3 different recipes, all compliments of Primal Palate. I couldn’t decide which one to post so I figured I’d supply all 3 and you could choose your own destiny. Two of them don’t have any added sugar, which is awesome if you are currently doing a sugar detox or a “Whole 30” challenge. I’ve already tested out the peppermint ones and they were AMAZING. Nom, nom, nom… enough said.
1/3 cup shredded unsweetened coconut
1/2 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Combine all ingredients in a small mixing bowl.
Stir mixture until all ingredients are equally blended together. Form mixture into small balls and place on a parchment lined cookie sheet. Place in the freezer for 10-15 minutes. Enjoy.
Cinnamon Coconut Butter Truffles
Ingredients:
1/4 cup coconut butter, melted
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
A pinch or two of salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
In a small mixing bowl combine coconut butter, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir with a spoon until all are combined. Sprinkle the ground cinnamon on top of the coconut butter mixture and stir until it is fully combined into the mixture. Place mixture into the fridge for 10-15 minutes to harden the coconut enough to roll into balls. Form coconut butter mixture into 4 equal balls and place on a small dish. Freeze for 10 minutes and enjoy.
1/4 cup coconut butter, melted
1/4 teaspoon peppermint oil
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
A pinch or two of salt
1/4 teaspoon unsweetened cocoa powder
In a small mixing bowl combine coconut butter, peppermint oil, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir with a spoon until all are combined. Sprinkle the unsweetened cocoa powder on top of the coconut butter mixture and stir gently. You want the cocoa powder to blend, but not completely so it has a “swirl” look to it through the coconut butter. Place mixture into the fridge for 10-15 minutes to harden the coconut enough to roll into balls. Form coconut butter mixture into 4 equal balls and place on a small dish. Freeze for 10 minutes and enjoy.
