There is nothing I love more than a creamy chocolate truffle surrounded by a rich, chocolate coating. It's the perfect treat to pop in your mouth in those moments when you need a sweet little pick-me-up. And when it comes to chocolate treats, these 4-Ingredient Chickpea Chocolate Truffles take the cake. Made with just 4 simple ingredients, these truffles are naturally gluten-free, dairy-free, and refined sugar-free, and are packed with protein, which means that these sweet treats will make you feel good from the inside out.
Ingredients
For the Truffles:
- 1 15 Ounce Can Chickpeas drained and rinsed
- 1 Cup Chocolate Chips melted
- ½ Cup Almond Butter
For the Coating:
- 1 Cup Chocolate Chips
- 1 Tablespoon Coconut Oil
Instructions
- To make these truffles, start by preparing the chickpeas. Drain and rinse the chickpeas thoroughly. Then, add them to a food processor alongside the melted chocolate chips and almond butter. Pulse the ingredients together until they're smooth and a dough forms.
- Next, use a cookie scoop or a spoon to scoop the dough into 12 balls. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place the balls on top of the baking sheet.
- Then, place the baking sheet into the freezer for 10 minutes.
- While the truffles are in the freezer, prepare the chocolate filling by placing the chocolate chips and coconut oil together in a bowl.
- Place the bowl in the microwave for 2-3, 30 second increments, until the chocolate is fully melted. Be sure to stir the chocolate in-between each increment, so that it fully combines with the coconut oil
- Once the truffles are done, remove them from the freezer and quickly dip each one in the chocolate before returning it to the baking sheet. Repeat until all of the truffles are coated in the chocolate. You can also dust each one with a sprinkle of flaky sea salt, if you desire.
- Finally, return the truffles back to the freezer for 15-20 minutes, or until the chocolate solidifies. Once the chocolate is solid, enjoy the finished truffles! Store any leftovers in an airtight container, in the fridge, for up to one week.
