Tips for Perfect Truffles
Before making your No Bake Almond Butter Truffles, make sure to read these tips first:
- For best results, use creamy, unsweetened almond butter with a well-stirred consistency. If the dough feels too dry, add an extra teaspoon of water. If it feels sticky, add a small amount of almond flour.
- Keeping the centers cold before dipping helps the chocolate coating set quickly and evenly. This step is key to achieving that classic truffle texture.
- You can also customize this healthy chocolate truffle recipe by adding unsweetened coconut flakes, chopped nuts, or a sprinkle of sea salt on top.
These no bake almond butter truffles prove that dessert can be both delicious and nourishing. With their rich chocolate coating, soft almond center, and balanced nutrition profile, they’re an easy go-to blood sugar friendly dessert you’ll want to make again and again.
Low Sugar No Bake Almond Butter Truffles
Ingredients
- ⅓ cup unsweetened creamy almond butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ cup + 1 tbsp almond flour
- 2 Tbsp honey
- 1 Tbsp water
- ½ cup No sugar-added chocolate chips * note: ½ cup chocolate chips fully covers 14 truffles, however, you may want to melt more because some will stick to the bowl and make it more difficult to coat
Instructions
- In a medium-sized bowl, mix the almond butter, vanilla, almond flour, honey and water until a dough-like texture forms.
- Roll the almond mixture into 1-tablespoon balls.
- Place the balls on a plate, into the freezer for 10 minutes until firm.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, microwave the chocolate chips in 30-second increments, mixing in between. This should take about 60-90 seconds. Once melted, dip the balls into the melted chocolate until coated, lift them out of the chocolate with 2 forks to let excess chocolate drip off, and create nicely coated truffles.
- Place the coated balls on a parchment-lined baking tray and freeze or refrigerate until firm, 5-10 minutes.
- Once hardened, remove from the tray and enjoy.

Absolutely delicious, Love this recipe! My friends and neighbors are huge fans, so now I’m making this fairly often. I have experimented with sugar free white chocolate as well as sprinkling the tops with various chopped nuts. My only critique is the yield. I followed the measurements exactly, but only netted about half the quantity stated. Now I triple the recipe. I find that keeping the coating on the thin side improves the overall product and produces a more delicate truffle. Thank you for this wonderful healthy treat!
