Instructions
In a medium bowl, add the toasted paleo flour, toasted shredded coconut and salt. Whisk together to combine and set aside.
In a small, microwave-safe bowl, add the nut (or seed) butter, coconut oil and maple syrup. Place the bowl in the microwave and heat for 30 seconds, or until the ingredients come together, then whisk to combine. Let the mixture cool 2-3 minutes so mixture doesn’t melt the chocolate chips.
Add the cooled nut (or seed) butter mixture to the dry ingredients, along with the vanilla extract and chocolate chips. Use a spatula to combine.
Scoop two rounded teaspoons of cookie dough into your clean hands and roll the mixture in into a 1-inch ball. (The dough should yield 24 truffles.)
Place the truffles on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper; place in the freezer for 15 minutes.
While the cookie dough is chilling, prepare the chocolate coating. In a small bowl, add the melted coconut oil, maple syrup, cocoa powder, vanilla and salt and whisk until completely incorporated. Let the chocolate mixture sit for 5 minutes, or until it begins to thicken slightly, which will make it easier to dip the truffles.
Remove the chilled truffles from the freezer and, using a dipping utensil, fork or toothpicks, dip and swirl the cookie dough balls into the chocolate. When fully coated, set them back onto the parchment paper. Immediately top the truffles with the toasted coconut.
Place the truffles in the fridge for 1 hour to set. Once set, you can scoop them into a container with a tight fitting lid for storage.
