Indulge in the elegance of homemade Raspberry Rose Chocolate Truffles. These bite-sized delights feature a nutty almond flour base, a sweet and tangy raspberry filling, and a rich dark chocolate coating. Finished with a sprinkle of dried rose petals, these truffles are perfect for special occasions, gifts, or a luxurious personal treat.
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour
- 2 tablespoons coconut flour
- 3 tablespoons maple syrup
- ¼ cup almond butter
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup raspberry preserves or jam
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips, melted
- Dried rose petals (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Create the dough:
In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, maple syrup, almond butter, and vanilla extract. Stir until the dough is smooth and well combined. - Add the filling:
Scoop a small portion of dough and flatten it in the palm of your hand. Place a small dollop of raspberry preserves in the center, then carefully fold the dough around the filling to form a ball. Repeat with the remaining dough. - Freeze the truffles:
Arrange the truffle balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Freeze for 15-20 minutes to firm up the truffles and make them easier to handle during coating. - Melt the chocolate:
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the dark chocolate chips in 15-second intervals, stirring after each interval until smooth. - Coat the truffles:
Dip each truffle into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated. Let any excess chocolate drip off before placing the truffle back on the baking sheet. - Garnish and set:
Sprinkle dried rose petals over the truffles while the chocolate is still soft. Let the truffles set at room temperature or refrigerate them for faster results.
Notes
- If the dough feels too dry, add a teaspoon of almond butter or maple syrup until it holds together.
- For a nut-free option, use sunflower seed butter in place of almond butter and replace almond flour with oat flour.
- To create a smoother filling, lightly heat the raspberry preserves before use
