Prep Time10 minutes
Total Time10 minutes
Servings10 servings

Equipment

  • 1 medium bowl
  • 1 small bowl

Ingredients

  • 1 cup chocolate protein powder if unsweetened, add 3 tablespoons of maple syrup to this recipe
  • 1/2 cup almond butter or cashew butter
  • 3-4 tablespoons non-dairy milk
  • 1/4 teaspoon peppermint extract

For the chocolate coating:

  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips
  • 1 teaspoon coconut oil optional
  • crushed candy canes optional

Method

  • Add the almond butter, chocolate protein powder, peppermint extract, and non-dairy milk to a bowl and mix until fully combined. Continue adding one tablespoon of non-dairy milk if the mixture seems too dry to roll into balls.
  • Scoop the truffles with a medium-sized cookie scoop into about 2 tablespoon-sized portions and roll into balls between the palms of your hands. Transfer the balls to the freezer for a few minutes while you prepare the topping.
  • Melt together the chocolate chips and coconut oil in either the microwave or over a double boiler until completely smooth.
  • Dip each protein truffle into the melted chocolate, then carefully transfer to a parchment-lined plate. Sprinkle the truffles with crushed candy canes, then transfer to the fridge until the chocolate has hardened.
