Description
Soft, naturally sweet carrot cake bites made with wholesome ingredients and coated in rich dark chocolate for a satisfying no-bake treat. These paleo-inspired truffles are perfect for a healthier dessert or snack.
Ingredients
- 1 cup finely grated carrots
- 1 cup almond flour
- ½ cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- ½ cup Medjool dates, pitted
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- Pinch of salt
- 120 g dark chocolate, melted
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil (for chocolate coating)
Instructions
- Add the grated carrots, almond flour, shredded coconut, Medjool dates, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt to a food processor.
- Blend until the mixture forms a sticky dough that holds together when pressed.
- Scoop small portions of the mixture and roll into bite-sized balls using your hands.
- Place the truffles on a parchment-lined tray and refrigerate for 20–30 minutes until firm.
- Melt the dark chocolate with 1 teaspoon coconut oil in a heatproof bowl over a double boiler or in short bursts in the microwave, stirring until smooth.
- Dip each chilled truffle into the melted chocolate and coat evenly.
- Return the chocolate-coated truffles to the parchment-lined tray.
- Refrigerate for another 15–20 minutes until the chocolate is fully set.
- Store the truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator and serve chilled or slightly softened.
Notes
- If the mixture feels too dry, add 1–2 teaspoons of melted coconut oil to help it bind.
- You can roll the truffles in shredded coconut or chopped nuts instead of chocolate for variation.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
- These truffles can also be frozen for up to 2 months and thawed before serving.
