No-Bake Chocolate Almond Protein Truffle
Ingredients:- ¼ cup MTS Whey Iso Chocolate (or flavor of your choice)
- ½ cup Ground Almonds
- 2 tbs. Coconut Flour
- ¼ cup Unsweetened Almond Milk
- 1 tbs. Peanut Butter
- ¼ cup Dark Chocolate Chips
- Combine your ground almonds and protein in a bowl and mix together.
- Add the remaining ingredients and mix together until all ingredients are mixed together. The dough will be a little sticky. If it's too wet or too sticky add a little more flour.
- Form the dough into small truffle balls and place on a plate or baking pan lined with wax or parchment paper. The dough will make approximately 7-8 truffle balls. Put your plate of balls to the side for the time being.
- Melt the dark chocolate chips in the microwave or using a double boiler. Drizzle the melted dark chocolate on top of your truffle balls, covering the top half of the candies.
- Place your tray in the freezer for approximately an hour to allow the candies to harden up. If you'd rather the truffles be soft and cold and not have a hard, crunchy texture you can also place them in the refrigerator.
