These bite-sized treats are sure to satiate your sweet tooth while dialing the heat index way up. But don’t just take our word for it, try them out for yourself!
INGREDIENTS
½ C Coconut oil, melted
½ C Almond butter, preferably raw
2 T Cacao Powder
2.5 T Kroma Spicy Passion Latte
Generous pinch of sea salt
¼ tsp Cinnamon
⅛ tsp Chili powder, or a few pinches of cayenne (optional for added spice)
1 tsp Vanilla extract
1 T Maple syrup
2-3 drops liquid monk fruit (optional)
Cacao nibs, cacao powder, & coconut flakes for garnish
DIRECTIONS
- In a food processor, blend coconut oil, almond butter, cacao powder, Kroma Spicy Passion, and sea salt until smooth.
- Add cinnamon, chili powder, vanilla extract, and maple syrup. Blend.
- Taste, and add a few drops of liquid monk fruit if more sweetness is desired.
- Pour mixture in a bowl, and refrigerate for approximately 30 minutes until medium-firm. You want it to be soft enough to roll into balls.
- Using approximately 1.5 T mixture per truffle, roll into balls and cover with desired topping.
- Ideally refrigerate for about 15 minutes before serving, and keep refrigerated.
Enjoy!
