These no-bake Gingerbread Truffles are vegan, grain-free, and paleo-friendly. Made with almond flour, creamy nut or seed butter, molasses, and warm gingerbread spices, they’re dipped in rich dark chocolate for a festive treat ready in just 30 minutes.

  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: 14 truffles

Ingredients

    • Cookie Dough Truffles:
    • 3 tablespoons creamy cashew butter (or sunbutter/tahini)
    • 2 tablespoons coconut sugar (or granulated sugar of choice)
    • 2 teaspoons pure molasses
    • 3/4 cup almond flour (75g)
    • 3/4 teaspoon ground ginger
    • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
    • 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
    • 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
    • 1/8 teaspoon allspice
    • 2 tablespoons non-dairy coffee creamer (or milk/cream of choice)

 

  • Chocolate Coating:
  • 4 ounces dairy-free dark chocolate (about 2/3 cup chocolate chips)
  • 1/2 tablespoon coconut oil
  • Flaked sea salt, optional (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Line a small baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  2. In a medium bowl, stir together the nut or seed butter, coconut sugar, and molasses until smooth.
  3. Add almond flour, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and allspice. Slowly add non-dairy creamer or milk until a rollable dough forms (not crumbly).
  4. Using a small cookie scoop or 1/2 tablespoon, roll the dough into approximately 14 small balls and place them on the lined baking sheet.
  5. Freeze the dough balls for 15 minutes.
  6. While the dough chills, melt chocolate chips and coconut oil together in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second increments (or melt in a saucepan over low heat), stirring until smooth.
  7. Dip each truffle in the melted chocolate using a spoon and place back on the parchment-lined tray. Drizzle any extra chocolate over the tops and sprinkle with flaked sea salt if using.
  8. Place truffles in the refrigerator to set, if needed. Store in a covered container in the fridge. They can also be kept at room temperature unless it’s too warm.

Notes

  • Use a smooth, well-stirred nut or seed butter for best results.
  • You can swap the chocolate coating for a dusting of cocoa powder or leave uncoated for a lower-sugar option.
  • Store in the fridge for up to 1 week or freeze for longer shelf life.
