Healthy White Chocolate Truffles
Serves: 12 truffles
These quick and easy to make White Chocolate Truffles are a healthy blend of whole food ingredients to make one very delicious treat.
Ingredients
- 100 g cacao butter -melted
- 100 g coconut oil -melted
- 160 g rice malt syrup or maple syrup (½ cup)
- 1 tsp vanilla -powder, extract or essence
- 80 g desiccated coconut (1 cup)
- 400 g almond meal (approx. 4 cups)
Method
- Mix the cacao butter, coconut oil, sweetener and vanilla together until well combined. If the weather is cool you may need to do this over a very low heat (or in a metal bowl over a pot of simmering water).
- Add in the rest of the ingredients and mix well until combined (I mixed mine in my Thermomix).
- Check the constancy of the mix, if it is not firm enough to roll into balls add a little more almond meal.
- If you are feeling lazy, or would prefer you can press this into a slice tin lined with baking paper.
- I rolled/topped mine with toasted desiccated coconut.
- Either way, pop into the freezer right away until firm.
Store
- Store in the fridge or freezer in an airtight container.

Where can I get cacao butter?
Georgia Harding says
As Raya said online or most health food shops should have it G x
Raya says
organicsonabudget.com.au have cocoa butter blocks of 500grams for $10.99 🙂 Its good too!
Simi says
Can I substitute anything for the almond meal please?
Georgia Harding says
Any ground nut or seed will work well. You may just have to adjust the amount depending upon how dry they grind x
Simi says
Soya flour, semolina??
Georgia Harding says
Simi, I’m really not sure, I have no experience with either. G x
Bridgette says
Made these today. They were delish! I used blanched almond meal but will try with regular almond meal next time…. I think thry may become a lunch box staple. Thank you, x
Georgia Harding says
You’re very welcome Bridgette, glad you enjoyed them G x
Amanda says
How long can these sit out on the table (kids birthday party) before they get too soft? I’d like to know the same about your hazelnut truffles too… please?
Georgia Harding says
Any raw treat doesn’t hold up to heat so it really depends how warm the climate is. I have served raw treats at parties before, but always serve them from frozen. If it’s not too hot, an hour, if it’s the middle of QLD summer 20-30mins. Hope that helps G x
Carolina says
How would you make them nut free Georgia? I’m thinking coconut flour but not sure if the quantities. Any hint we would be awesome. Thank you 🙂
Georgia Harding says
I think toasted and ground sunflower seeds would be better. This is a great truffle for nut free too https://wellnourished.com.au/raspberry-coconut-truffles/ G x

I ran out of of almond meal, not realising how easy it is to make ?♀️ so subbed with lsa and hazelnut meal. They aren’t white like yours, still taste nice, just not as nice as the chocolate ones.
Georgia Harding says
Good to know, I’ve only made with almond meal Gx
