Chocolate Hazelnut Truffles

Chocolate Hazelnut Truffles


OH MY GAWD -- THEY'RE SO DECADENT.


1 Cup Whey Protein (Preferably chocolate, but vanilla will suffice)
1 Cup  Casein Protein (Preferably chocolate)
1/4 cup and 2 TBSP Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
2/3 Cup Natural Hazelnut Butter*
3/4 Unsweetened Almond or Coconut Milk
Medium Sized Muffin Liners
Extra Dark chocolate -- enough to coat!

DIRECTIONS:
- Mix ingredients together until smooth
- Melt chocolate in a double-boiler
- Line muffin tin with liners
- Place a generous amount of melted chocolate on the bottom of each liner -- enough to cover the bottom.
- Spoon desired amount of batter into each muffin liner, on top of melted chocolate (amount can vary depending on how thick you prefer them).
- Cover batter with remaining chocolate
- Let sit
- Enjoy!

These freeze really well! I like to make a gigantic batch, freeze them… and thaw a few at a time. It keeps my cravings at bay!

*If you can't find natural hazelnut butter, you can make your own or substitute with almond butter and 1/2 TBSP - 1 TBSP Hazelnut Extract
