What are Coconut Brownie Truffles?

Inspired by classic chocolate truffles, these decadent bites are made with a unique filling of hazelnut paste and coconut flour, offering a delicious twist on traditional truffles.

Pro Tips for Perfect Coconut Brownie Truffles:

  • Sift the coconut flour before using to ensure it’s completely smooth and free of lumps.
  • If you prefer a vegan option, swap out the honey for maple syrup and choose a dairy-free chocolate.
  • For the most gorgeous presentation, place the truffles on a wire rack to drip off any excess chocolate before they harden.
  • Optional Garnishes: Add extra flavor by rolling the truffles in shredded coconut or sprinkling with chopped hazelnuts.

FAQ

Can I Replace Coconut Flour with Almond Flour?

No, coconut flour is much more absorbent than almond flour, so it’s best not to substitute it without adjusting the amount. Almond flour would require additional binding ingredients, which may affect the texture.

Are These Truffles Vegan?

These truffles are not vegan because of the honey, but you can easily make them vegan by substituting maple syrup for honey and choosing dairy-free chocolate.

Can I Use White Chocolate Instead of Dark Chocolate?

Absolutely! If you prefer white chocolate, feel free to coat the truffles with melted white chocolate. Just make sure to use high-quality white chocolate for the best results.

How Should I Store Coconut Brownie Truffles?

Store your truffles in an airtight container in the fridge. They’ll stay fresh for several weeks, making them perfect for prepping ahead of time or enjoying as a sweet snack later.
