No Bake Lemon Truffles
If you like lemon drizzle cake but don't feel like switching your oven on, then you are going to love these No Bake Lemon Truffles. They're sweet and zingy - like lemon drizzle cake in truffle form.
Ingredients
- 1 cup ground almonds or almond flour
- 3/4 cup dessicated or shredded coconut
- 3 tbsp refined/'odourless' coconut oil, melted this type of coconut oil is neutral tasting
- 1 lemon juiced
- 1/2 tsp lemon zest
- 1 tsp vanilla extract or paste
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1 pinch salt
White Chocolate Coating
- 100 g white chocolate I use vegan/dairy free white chocolate
- 2 tsp coconut oil optional
Instructions
- Start by adding the dessicated coconut to a blender and blending until it has ground down to the consistency of the ground almonds.
- Add both the ground almonds and dessicated coconut to a medium bowl along with the pinch of salt and stir.
- Add the melted coconut oil, lemon juice and zest, maple syrup and vanilla and mix well.
- Remove a tablespoons of the mixture and roll into balls and place on a lined flat plate or tray that will fit in your freezer. Place the tray in the freezer while you melt your chocolate.
- Melt your white chocolate in a Bain Marie or in the microwave. Drop each ball and coat with white chocolate, I like to do this with a spoon and a fork. Place back on the lined sheet.
- Once the balls are coated, place them in the fridge to set for 30 minutes. Once set, store in the fridge in an airtight container (you can also store in the freezer but will have to let them thaw before enjoying)!
