Ingredients
  

  • 4 oz cream cheese cubed
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • 7 oz sugar-free white chocolate chips
  • 1 cup fine ground almond flour
  • 1 ½ tbsp instant espresso powder

Coating

  • 1/2 cup sugar free semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil

Instructions
 

  • In a saucepan, add the cream cheese and heavy cream and whisk over medium heat until well combined and melty.
  • Add the white chocolate chips, almond flour, and espresso powder and stir constantly over medium heat until the mixture is smooth and saucy. Transfer to a bowl and cover, then place in the fridge for 5-6 hours or overnight. The mixture should be cooled and easy to scoop and shape.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and shape the cooled mixture into 1 tbsp balls. Place on the parchment paper. Set the espresso truffles in the freezer while you make the chocolate coating.
  • In a double boiler or saucepan, add the chocolate chips and coconut oil and heat over medium-low until melted and smooth. Allow the chocolate to cool 2-3 minutes. One by one, carefully dip the frozen espresso truffles in the chocolate, coating on all sides. Carefully remove the truffles with a fork or slotted spoon and place back on the lined baking sheet. Once all the truffles have been coated, return the sheet pan to the fridge to set the chocolate for about 15-20 minutes. Store in the fridge until ready to serve!

Notes

  1. Even though almond flour is used in these truffles, they are not gritty, they’re very smooth and delicious! Use finely ground almond flour (I used Bob’s Red Mill) for best results and texture. 
     
  2. These should be stored in the fridge for up to 5 days or in the freezer for up to 1 month. 
     
  3. Feel free to use regular chocolate chips or sugar-free depending on your diet. I tested the recipe with both and both taste great and have the same texture!
