I love chocolate! With Easter just around the corner, these dark chocolate truffle balls make the perfect low FODMAP recipe. You can adapt the toppings to suit your allergy needs or taste preferences. Just remember that these truffles are chocolate heavy, which means your truffles will only be as good as the quality of the chocolate you use.

Time to make is 35 minutes + 5 hours setting time

Method

  1. Chop the dark chocolate into small pieces and place in a bowl with the coconut oil (melted), vanilla essence, and pure maple syrup. 
  2. Place the coconut cream in a small saucepan over low heat, until the milk starts to steam. Then pour into the bowl. Mix gently with a spoon until well combined and smooth (do not whisk - as this will incorporate air into the mixture).
  3. Cover the bowl with cling wrap and allow to chill in the fridge for 4 to 5 hours (we need the truffle mixture to set).
  4. Just before you roll your truffles, toast your desiccated coconut for 1 to 2 minutes over medium heat, until lightly golden. Remove the coconut and toast your pumpkin and sunflower seeds for 2 to 3 minutes until golden. Finely chop/crumble your desiccated coconut, toasted seeds, and vanilla biscuits (I used homemade). Place the desiccated coconut, toasted seeds, vanilla biscuits, and gluten free cocoa powder into separate bowls.
  5. Line a tray with baking paper. Wash your hands in very cold water (the colder your hands, the easier it is to roll the truffles). Using a teaspoon, scoop out little truffle balls and roll in the palm of your hands, before placing them on the tray. 
  6. Then decorate by rolling the balls through your choice of toppings. Return the truffles to the fridge for 30 minutes to firm up before serving.
  7.  Storage: These truffles will last for a few days in the fridge.
