Dark Chocolate Lavender Truffles

I love desserts but my body has a hard time processing extra sugar. So, I am always looking for lower sugar dessert alternatives. These creamy bites are easy to make and melt in your mouth, they are to die for!

Dark Chocolate Lavender Truffles

INGREDIENTS

  • 6 oz Organic dark chocolate, finely chopped

  • 1 Tbsp Coconut oil

  • 1/2 Tbsp Raw unfiltered honey, or organic grade A maple syrup

  • 1/3 c Organic coconut milk

  • Dash sea salt

  • 2-4 drops Lavender YL essential oil

  • Unsweetened cocoa flour for rolling

Melt coco oil, honey, coco milk, and salt in a saucepan, and gently simmer. Do not boil.

Pour mixture into a heatproof bowl over chopped chocolate. Stir until melted and smooth.

Stir in Lavender YLEO.

Refrigerate about 2 hours or until mixture sets.

Using a small scoop make 12 balls, then roll until smooth.

Roll each truffle in cocoa powder until coated.

Refrigerate for 15 minutes or until firm.

Let stand at room temperature a few minutes before serving.

Enjoy the smooth chocolately goodness!

Try other combinations such as peppermint, ginger, cinnamon or orange, yum!

Low sugar doesn’t = suffering!
