No- Bake Chocolate Peppermint Protein Truffles
Serves 12
INGREDIENTS:
-
8tbsp, Cocoa Powder
-
4tbsp, Maple Syrup
-
A pinch of flaky Sea Salt
-
1 scoop Garden of Life Raw Organic Perfect Food Greens Chocolate
-
1/4 cup Smooth Peanut Butter
-
2 scoops of Garden of Life SPORT Organic Plant-Based Protein - Chocolate
-
1tbsp, Peppermint Extract
-
Water, as needed
Toppings:
-
1 regular-sized candy cane, crushed
-
80 g Dark Chocolate
DIRECTIONS:
-
Add all ingredients into a mixing bowl and combine. It should end up being pretty crumbly and fall apart into your hands.
-
Start adding water as needed, about a tablespoon at a time, and knead it until it reaches a consistency where it comes together. You don't want any of it to crumble apart at this stage.
-
Roll into 12 evenly sized balls. (Note: I cut the dough in half, then separated each half into six equal portions to help with ensuring I had enough dough for all 12 truffles.)
-
Place it in the freezer to set.
-
Meanwhile, melt the chocolate down until it is a nice, smooth texture - either on a stovetop or in a microwave-safe bowl at 30s at a time.
-
When your truffles have frozen enough, dip them into the melted chocolate - just so the top half is covered - and then dunk into the crushed candy cane (or sprinkle overtop!) and set on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
-
Do this to all 12 of your truffles, then pop them back into the freezer so everything comes together nicely.
-
Enjoy!
