Ingredients

• 120 grams Almond flour
• 80 grams Powdered sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon Almond extract
• 0.25 teaspoon Rose water (optional)
• 100 grams Vegan dark chocolate
• 2 tablespoons Coconut cream
• 50 grams Shredded coconut (for coating)
• 30 grams Powdered sugar (for coating optional alternative)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium mixing bowl, sift together the almond flour and powdered sugar to remove any lumps and ensure a smooth texture.

Step 2

Add the almond extract and rose water (if using) to the dry ingredients. Mix them together with your hands or a spatula until a soft, pliable dough forms. If it feels too dry, add 1 teaspoon of water at a time until it comes together.

Step 3

Divide the marzipan dough into 12 equal portions. Roll each portion into a smooth ball and set them aside on a parchment-lined tray.

Step 4

In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the vegan dark chocolate and coconut cream together, stirring frequently to create a smooth ganache. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly for 2-3 minutes.

Step 5

Dip each marzipan ball into the melted chocolate using a fork or a skewer, ensuring it is fully coated. Let any excess chocolate drip off before placing it back on the parchment-lined tray.

Step 6

While the chocolate coating is still wet, roll each truffle in shredded coconut or sift powdered sugar over it to create a 'snowball' effect.

Step 7

Place the tray of truffles in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to set the chocolate coating.

Step 8

Serve chilled or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
