Cocoa Truffles with Hard-Boiled Egg

Ingredients

• 6 large hard-boiled eggs (approx. 300 g peeled)
• 100 g peanut butter (100% natural)
• 45 g unsweetened cocoa powder (sugar-free)
• 30 ml skim or plant-based milk (sugar-free; add gradually until desired texture is achieved (up to 40 ml))
• 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional but highly recommended)
• 40 liquid stevia (or 40 g organic honey; use 40 to 50 drops)
• sea salt (a pinch to enhance flavor)
• shredded coconut or extra cocoa powder (for coating)

Steps

1. 1

   Place the 6 peeled hard-boiled eggs in a food processor.

2. 2

   Add the peanut butter, unsweetened cocoa powder, chosen sweetener (stevia or honey), vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt.

3. 3

   Process the mixture until well combined.

4. 4

   Gradually incorporate the milk while continuing to process. It is essential not to overdo the liquid so the dough doesn't become too soft; it should have a highly moldable texture.

5. 5

   Take small portions of the dough and form small balls with your hands.

6. 6

   Roll each truffle in extra cocoa powder or shredded coconut for coating.
