The Perfect Treat to Share

We adore nut butter! Wrap it up in a layer of dark chocolate, and who can resist?

For holidays like Valentine's Day, we much prefer giving out homemade treats made with ingredients we feel good about, and these Cashew Butter Truffles (or other nut butter!) are cutomizable. Sprinkle them with flakey sea salt any time of the year, or use seasonal sprinkles to give them some extra holiday flair.

When our kids reach for a 2nd or 3rd truffle, we let them think they are getting away with something. In reality, we are happy they are enjoying nut butter in a fun way!

What You'll Need

  • Nut Butter of Choice (we love cashew, almond, and sunflower butter)
  • ZenSweet Powdered Monk Fruit Sweetener
  • Pastured (grass-fed) Butter
  • Vanilla
  • Sea Salt
  • Sugar Free Dark Chocolate (or opt for 85%-90%)
  • Coconut Oil
  • Optional: Flakey sea salt or holiday sprinkles

How to make

Step 1

Add the nut butter, ZenSweet Powdered Monk Fruit Sweetener, vanilla, sea salt, and softened butter to a mixer bowl. Whip together until it forms a dough.

Step 2

Use a cookie scoop to form the nut butter filling in 1 tablespoon mounds (or roll scoops into balls). Freeze the nut butter balls for at least an hour.

Step 3

In a double boiler, melt the dark chocolate and coconut oil. Alternately, use unsweetened chocolate, ZenSweet powdered sweetener, and coconut oil.

Step 4

Dip each frozen nut butter ball in the chocolate mixture until it's fully coated, then place back on the baking tray to allow to set.

Step 5

Before the chocolate sets, sprinkle the tops with flakey sea salt or sprinkles.

Step 6

Store truffles in the refrigerator or freezer for best results.

Variations

Nut Butter: Make these with cashew, almond, peanut, or sunflower seed butter. Cashew butter is higher in carbs, so not the best choice for a strict keto diet.

Dark Chocolate: Use either 85% or 90% dark chocolate, a sugar free dark chocolate bar, or 1.5 ounces of unsweetened chocolate with 1 tablespoon of coconut oil and 3 tablespoons of powdered monk fruit sweetener.

Delicious, nut butter truffles, dipped in dark chocolate! These sugar free truffles are perfect for your choice of nut butter and decorated with flakey salt or sprinkles.

Ingredients:

  • 1-2 cups ZenSweet Powdered monk Fruit Sweetener
  • 1 cup cashew butter (almond, peanut, or sunflower butter)
  • 4 tbsp butter, (sub non-dairy butter) room temperature
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt
  • 9 oz bittersweet (70% plus cacao) dark chocolate chips or chunks
  • Flaky sea salt and red sprinkles optional for decorating

Instructions

  • In a medium sized mixing bowl, using an electric mixer on medium speed, beat ZenSweet to taste, nut butter of your choice, butter, vanilla, and salt until the dough forms into a ball, about 2 minutes
  • Roll the “dough” into 1 inch balls and place on parchment-lined baking sheet
  • Freeze until firm, about 20 minutes
  • Once the balls are firm, place chocolate in a dish and microwave in 30-second increments, stirring between each, until melted and smooth
  • Line a second baking sheet with parchment paper
  • Working with a quarter of the balls at a time (keep remaining frozen), dip in the melted chocolate one at a time, letting excess chocolate drip off, and transfer to the newly prepared baking sheet
  • If desired, sprinkle with flaky salt and/or sprinkles
  • Repeat with remaining nut butter balls
