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
- 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). - 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. - Shape the truffles:
Divide the dough into 16 equal portions and roll them into ping-pong-sized balls. - Add the snowy effect:
Roll each ball in extra shredded coconut until evenly coated. - Chill and enjoy:
Refrigerate the truffles for at least 30 minutes to set. Then, enjoy your wintery, keto-friendly treat!
