Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup peanut butter
  • 3 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 6 tablespoons almond flour
  • ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • ⅛ teaspoon sea salt
  • 6 ounces vegan chocolate chips, I use Enjoy Life brand

Instructions
 

  • Mix peanut butter, maple syrup, and vanilla together. Stir in salt. Gradually add almond flour, starting with 2 tablespoons, until the dough holds together. Add more if needed.
  • Cover and place in the freezer for 20 minutes to firm up.
  • Roll dough into balls (about 12 total) with your hands or a cookie scoop. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  • Set the balls back in the freezer while you melt your chocolate.
  • Melt down chocolate chips using a microwave or double boiler.
  • Dip each ball into melted chocolate using a fork. Let excess drip off. Place on parchment-lined baking sheet.
  • Drizzle over remaining melted chocolate in a striped pattern with a fork.
  • Sprinkle with chopped pistachio pieces.
  • Freeze for 20 minutes until chocolate sets. Store in the freezer in an airtight container for up to 3 months.

Notes

  • If your peanut butter is very runny, you may need closer to 6 tablespoons almond flour. If it’s thick and dry, you may need slightly less.
  • Adjust maple syrup to taste.
  • If needed, stir in 1 teaspoon coconut oil to thin the chocolate for smoother dipping.
  • Store these chocolate truffles with pistachio topping in your freezer for up to 3 months.
