In a medium mixing bowl, sift together the almond flour and powdered sugar to remove any lumps and ensure a smooth texture.
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.
Divide the marzipan dough into 12 equal portions. Roll each portion into a smooth ball and set them aside on a parchment-lined tray.
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.
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.
While the chocolate coating is still wet, roll each truffle in shredded coconut or sift powdered sugar over it to create a 'snowball' effect.
Place the tray of truffles in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to set the chocolate coating.
Serve chilled or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
