The Recipe

Servings: 10-12 balls | Total time: 35 min | Difficulty: easy

Ingredients

• 100g oat milk
• 100 g hazelnuts (or cashews)
• 30g protein powder (unsweetened)
• 2 tbsp honey or maple syrup
• 80 g dark chocolate (70%)
• 1 tbsp raw cocoa powder (low-fat)
• 2 tbsp coconut oil (not melted)

Instructions

1. In a blender or food processor, combine the nuts, protein powder, and oat milk. Blend until the mixture is smooth and homogeneous.
2. Pour the blended mixture into a small pan and add honey, coconut oil, and dark chocolate.
3. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until everything is melted and well combined.
4. Remove the pan from the stove and let the mixture cool at room temperature.
5. Transfer the mixture to the fridge and chill for 3–4 hours until firm enough to shape.
6. Scoop small portions of the mixture with a spoon and quickly shape them into truffle-sized balls with your hands. Work fast to prevent the mixture from melting.
7. Roll the truffles in crushed nuts for extra crunch, and press a whole hazelnut into the center for a tasty surprise while shaping them.
8. Return them to the fridge to cool further before serving.

Tip: For a festive touch, add orange zest to the mixture, if making them during the holidays, and sprinkle cocoa powder on top for a classic finish instead of rolling them in nuts.
