Paleo Chocolate Fudge Truffles are made with coconut milk and almond butter for a super creamy and ultra-fudgy grain-free, gluten-free, and vegan dessert recipe!  

One of the hardest aspects of sticking to a healthful diet is dessert.

I don’t know about you, but man do I cave when I see a plate full of chocolate chip cookies.

Sometimes you need a little something sweet that can help you curb those dessert cravings.

For Cohl and I, we oftentimes enjoy a bit of dark chocolate after dinner.

Sometimes that works to appease the inner sugar monster, but sometimes I need just a bit more.

These Paleo chocolate fudge truffles do just that.

Super fudgy.

Ultra creamy.

Rich.

Decadent.

And did I mention good for you?!

Recipe Notes

*If you would like slightly less sweet chocolate fudge truffles, roll your truffles in shredded coconut. If you prefer sweeter truffles, roll them all in coconut sugar.

**For best texture, let truffles sit at room temperature for 20-30 minutes before serving after extended periods of refrigeration.

***Truffles keep for 7-10 days if refrigerated properly.
