Easiest plaeo treat ever?

[hugh]

Well, obviously a banana is the easiest paleo treat, but this is pretty good.....

Cocoa truffles
2 cups almond meal
1/2 cup cocoa, -(obviously pure organic cocoa, not some cocoa plus **** - read the label!)
3 tablesoons coconut oil
2 tablespoons honey
3 table spoons water
Blast in a processor or mix well by hand
add
1/3 cup chopped sultanas or fresh chopped cherries or ?????
roll into little balls and roll in cocoa powder or desiccated coconut

cocoa isn't SCD but i'm not sure why and this touches on the subject

Best refrigerated but excellent straight away

White truffles
as above but leave out the cocoa and maybe use dried apricot instead of sultanas, and roll in coconut

on SCD we can actually find raw cocoa butter...if you can find it lol

thought i'd update.....
sometimes it needs more water, up to 1/4 cup
looking for a soft easy to roll ball

Glad you updated. I knew I had seen the recipe somewhere, but couldn't remember where I will print it this time.

Sounds yum

Where do you get your almond meal? I can't find it anywhere :/

 

[KWalker]

Gianni, almond flour is the same thing if you can find it. I make my own, because really all it is is extremely ground almonds. You can do it with any nuts. Heads up though, it's definitely a different taste/consistency and you might not like it the first time you try baking with nut flours.

i get it from a local whole food retailer for $11.25/kg
-try to find a co-op or bulk store,
the place i go to takes orders and the buys in bulk to fill the orders

www.honeyville.com is a great place to get it. Much cheaper per pound than local markets. You can also take blanched almonds and grind them in your coffee grinder.
