Description
These no-bake chickpea truffles are a quick, protein-packed treat that combines creamy chickpeas, almond butter, and rich dark chocolate for a decadent snack.
Ingredients
1 cup dark chocolate chips
1/2 cup almond butter
1 can garbanzo beans, drained and rinsed well
Instructions
- Drain and rinse the chickpeas thoroughly, then pat them dry.
- Add the chickpeas, almond butter, and part of the melted dark chocolate to a food processor.
- Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed.
- Use a cookie scoop to portion the mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Freeze the scooped mixture for about 30 minutes until firm enough to handle.
- Melt the remaining dark chocolate.
- Roll the chilled portions into smooth balls, then dip each one into the melted chocolate until fully coated.
- Return the coated truffles to the baking sheet and freeze again until the chocolate is set.
- Serve chilled or store in the fridge or freezer for later.
Notes
Add a pinch of sea salt or cinnamon to the truffle mixture for extra flavor.
Roll the chocolate-coated truffles in shredded coconut, chopped nuts, or cocoa powder for variation.
Substitute almond butter with peanut butter or cashew butter if desired.
Store truffles in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week or freezer for up to a month.
Let frozen truffles thaw for 5–10 minutes before serving for the best texture.
