Combine shredded coconut, slivered almonds, stevia & coconut oil in a food processor (scroll down for recipe details with specific amounts). The mixture should be soft and come together easily.

Take one teaspoonful of the mixture and roll it into a ball. If you find that the mixture is too sticky, add a bit of water to your hands. Once all the balls are formed, place in the freezer to harden for 20 minutes.

The mixture of almonds and coconut on the inside of these treats is perfectly chewy and delicious! I think the almonds give it a lovely subtle crunch!

I really wish I could try these. However, I’m allergic to almonds. They look so good though!
This truffles looks absolutely yummy and delish! I cant wait to try it out asap. I am sure hubby would love a bite or two right away.
Almond Joy is my fave candy bar that’s why in my latest recipe, I have Almond Joy incorporated in my Chocolate Almond Pancakes recipe as well. Haha what a coincidence! Your truffles sound so yummy!
Haha what a coincidence! Great minds think alike!!
You had me at chocolate coconut. YUM! I would love to try to make these.
Do you know what the serving size and net carbs are for the coconut balls ?
No, I don’t have that information unfortunately.
This is perfection. My daughter has been asking me to make her some chocolate truffles and adding coconut sounds heavenly! Thanks for sharing this, we have to try it!
These look so good. I need to make them soon. I do love coconut, so I’m sure I’ll love these.
Growing up, I wasn’t really a coconut fan. But now that I’m an adult, I’m absolutely obsessed. It tastes like vacation! Can’t wait to relax with these yummy truffles.
