Enjoy this healthier Paleo truffle recipe with delicious sweet potatoes and pumpkin pie spice! grain-free, gluten-free, dairy-free, vegan!
- 1/2 cup sweet potato puree
- 1/2 cup creamy almond butter
- 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

- 1/3 cup chocolate chips
- 1/2 tbsp maple syrup
-
In a mixing bowl, add the sweet potato puree, almond butter, maple syrup, pumpkin pie spice, vanilla extract, and sea salt. Add salt to taste.
-
Mix well, and roll into balls. I like to make 1/2 tablespoon sized balls, but you can choose any size.
-
Place in the refrigerator to harden and set about 1 hour.
-
When the balls are ready, make the chocolate shell topping. Melt 1 tsp. of coconut oil in 1/3 cup of chocolate chips.
-
Dip each ball into the chocolate mixture and coat the entire ball. Place back in the refrigerator to harden. Will be ready in about an hour.
-
Store in the refrigerator because they tend to melt when left out for a period of time.
