Equipment
- hand mixer
- Bowls
- Mixing spoon
- Baking sheet or tray lined with parchment paper
- Toothpicks or wooden skewers
Ingredients
Filling
- 1/4 cup cream cheese softened
- 1/4 cup salted butter softened
- 2 tbsp coconut oil room temperature or softened slightly if hardened
- 1 cup + 1 tbsp almond flour
- 3/4 cup powdered monkfruit/erythritol sweetener
- 1/2 tsp pure mint or almond extract completely optional, we didn't use it
- 1/4 tsp red food colouring (optional) you might adjust the quantity based on the colour strength you want
- 1/4 tsp green food colouring (optional) you might adjust the quantity based on the colour strength you want
Chocolate Coating
- 4 bars Dark Ross Chocolates
- 1 tbsp coconut oil
Instructions
- In a bowl, use mixer to blend cream cheese, butter, and coconut oil until smooth (about 1–2minutes)
- Add almond flour, sweetener and flavoured extract (optional) and mix using a spoon until a soft dough forms.
- Split the dough in half and place each half in a separate bowl. Add the green food colouring to one and the red into the other.
- Mix the colouring to the dough, and chill for about 20 minutes.
- Take a small piece of red dough and a small piece of green and gently roll them together in your hands to form a soft ball.
- Continue making the balls with all the dough. Place the balls on a parchment paper lined cookie sheet or tray.
- Freeze the dough balls for about 30 minutes.
- For the coating, mix chopped Dark Ross Chocolates bars and coconut oil in a small bowl and microwave in 30 seconds increments until melted. Stir until smooth.
- Dip each dough ball gently in the chocolate mixture using a spoon to coat. We used wooden skewers (or toothpicks) to hold the dough balls.
- Place the dipped dough balls back on the parchment lined tray; (optional) immediately sprinkle edible glitter or sprinkles on top of each one (you want to do this before the chocolate sets).
- Once all of the dough balls are coated, place them back in the freezer for at least an hour before serving.
- Store in an airtight container or large plastic bag in the fridge or freezer.
- Enjoy!
