No Bake Sugar Cookie Truffles
One of my favorite memories as a kid was making sugar cookies with my mom and decorating them all pretty. Sugar cookies are so nostalgic, and these no bake sugar cookie truffles bring them to a whole new level! They consist of a sugar cookie dough filling that is high in protein and healthy fats without any dairy or gluten! The best part is that these truffles have a delicious dairy free white chocolate coating and natural festive sprinkles on top. They are absolutely delicious and easy to make as well!
What you will need
Raw Cashew Butter – This is what makes the sugar cookie dough filling so smooth and creamy! You can also substitute with almond butter.
Almond Flour – This is a great gluten and grain free flour alternative. I love it because it is higher in fiber and protein!
Coconut Flour – We will use a combination of almond and coconut four to get a great texture for the truffle filling.
Vanilla Protein Powder – I love using the plant based one by Truvani, but you can use any protein powder of choice.
Coconut Oil – This is an excellent healthy source of fats and works well in mnay recipes.
Maple Syrup – This is what we will use to sweeten the sugar cookie truffle filling.
Almond Extract – This is what gives these truffles that sugar cookie flavor that everyone loves!
DF White Chocolate – This is what makes the perfect coating for these truffles. You can also use dairy based ones if you prtefer.
Natural Festive Sprinkles – Adding festive sprinkles is definitely non-negotiable! They look so pretty on the truffles.
How to make the no bake sugar cookie truffles
First, In a bowl, mix together the cashew butter, 2 tbsp coconut oil, maple syrup, and almond extract. Then, add in the protein powder, almond flour, and coconut flour. Mix well until a cookie dough consistency. Place the sugar cookie dough into the fridge for 15 minutes to solidify a little before rolling.
Next, take the sugar cookie dough out of the fridge and roll into about 14 balls. Place the balls on a parchment paper lined sheet pan and freeze for 30 minutes. Melt the white chocolate with the 1 tsp coconut oil in a bowl in the microwave at 30-second increments(or in a double boiler.) Dip the balls into the melted white chocolate and place back on the sheet pan. Add the festive sprinkles on top after each one is dipped in the chocolate and let them set. Store in an air tight container and enjoy!
