Ingredients for Snowballs Coconut Fudge Truffles

Here’s what you’ll need to make these delicious truffles:

• ½ cup (120 g) heavy whipping cream or coconut cream
• 4 tablespoons (56 g) unsalted butter or coconut oil, melted
• 3 scoops (90 g) unflavored whey protein (vanilla whey protein works too—see notes below)
• ½ cup (96 g) powdered sweetener (use keto-friendly sweeteners for best results)
• ½ cup (60 g) coconut flour
• ¾ cup (64 g) unsweetened grated coconut, plus extra for rolling
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Tools You’ll Need

• A food processor (optional but speeds up the process)
• Measuring cups and spoons
• A large bowl if mixing by hand

Ingredient Additions and Substitutions

• Flavored whey protein: Using vanilla-flavored whey protein can add a lovely sweetness. If you do, taste the dough before adding extra sweetener.
• Sweetener options: Powdered erythritol or monk fruit sweetener works best. Avoid granulated sweeteners, as they can create a grainy texture.
• Coconut cream or oil: Perfect for a dairy-free version.

How to Make Snowballs Coconut Fudge Truffles

1. Combine the ingredients:
   In a food processor bowl (or a large mixing bowl if you prefer), add: heavy whipping cream, melted butter, whey protein, powdered sweetener, coconut flour, unsweetened grated coconut, and vanilla extract (if using).
2. Mix until smooth:
   Blend the ingredients until they form a smooth, firm dough. If using a food processor, this will take about 15–20 seconds.
3. Shape the truffles:
   Divide the dough into 16 equal portions and roll them into ping-pong-sized balls.
4. Add the snowy effect:
   Roll each ball in extra shredded coconut until evenly coated.
5. Chill and enjoy:
   Refrigerate the truffles for at least 30 minutes to set. Then, enjoy your wintery, keto-friendly treat!

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use a different protein powder?

No problem! Simply mix the ingredients by hand in a large bowl until well combined.

Can I make these ahead of time?
Absolutely! These truffles are perfect for prepping ahead and storing in the fridge or freezer until needed.
