Servings: 16 truffles
Calories: 117kcal
Ingredients
- ½ cup cream cheese 4 ounces, room temperature so it's easier to mix
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ cup Powdered Monk Fruit sweetener
- 1½ tablespoon lime juice
- zest from 1 lime
- ½ cup finely shredded unsweetened coconut or desiccated coconut
- 1½ cup walnuts finely grounded
Instructions
- In a medium size bowl, mix the cream cheese with vanilla extract. Once combined, add powdered Monk fruit, lime juice, and lime zest.
- Next, add shredded coconut and stir too ombine. Add ground walnuts and stir. Refrigerate the mixture for 1- 1½ hours so the coconut absorbs excess moisture.
- Once the mixture is set, it will remain moist but you’ll be able to roll the truffles into balls. If too moist, add an extra tablespoon of coconut.
- Finally, coat each truffle with more coconut. Enjoy!
Notes
- Store these truffles in the fridge in an airtight container for up to five days.
- Finely shredded coconut or desiccated coconut can be used interchangeably, with the only clarification that shredded coconut may absorb less moisture. If that’s the case, just add one or two more tablespoons of coconut.
- If you use regular shredded coconut, you can use a blender to create a fine texture.
- You can also substitute almond flour for the ground walnuts. You will probably use a smaller amount as it will absorb more moisture than a freshly ground nut.
