Ingredients
- 2tablespoons sugardivided, 24 grams
- 5tablespoons smooth peanut butter80 grams
- 2tablespoons natural cacao or cocoa10 grams, plus a half-teaspoon more for rolling if desired
- 1teaspoon sorghumor agave syrup, 7 grams
- 1/8teaspoon vanilla
Instructions
- Put about 2 teaspoons of sugar in a saucer for rolling the truffles. Mix in a little cocoa if desired.
- Mix remaining ingredients in a bowl. Use a fork and table knife to mix and cut the ingredients until they are well blended, with no streaks of color.
- Divide peanut-butter mixture into even pieces. Roll each piece into a ball with your hands, then roll in sugar or whatever coatings you fancy.
- If they seem soft, chill for ten minutes. I drain enough oil from my peanut butter that they are firm enough to eat right away. Truffles probably keep for weeks in a refrigerated container and freeze well, but who will ever know?
Recipe Notes
Rolling truffles in sugar adds crunch as well as sweetness. Adding a half-teaspoon of cocoa to intensify the chocolate flavor if you like. Experiment with finely chopped nuts, coconut, and whatever you fancy, then please let us know how your truffles turned out.
