Instructions

Make the matcha filling: In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, matcha powder, and a pinch of salt. Add maple syrup, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract, stirring thoroughly until the mixture forms a soft, well-incorporated dough.
Roll into truffles: Using about 1 tablespoon of dough per truffle, roll the mixture into small balls with your hands. Place the balls on a parchment-lined tray and freeze for 15 to 20 minutes until firm and easier to handle.
Melt the chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate chips together with coconut oil in 20-second increments. Stir well between intervals until you achieve a smooth, lump-free melted chocolate mixture.
Coat the truffles: Use a fork or dipping tool to dip each chilled truffle fully into the melted chocolate. Gently tap off any excess chocolate and place the coated truffles back onto the parchment-lined tray.
Decorate: Before the chocolate coating sets, generously sprinkle your chosen toppings such as green sprinkles, crushed pistachios, shredded coconut, or gold sugar pearls onto each truffle for a festive appearance and delightful texture.
Chill to set: Refrigerate the coated truffles for 10 to 15 minutes to allow the chocolate to harden completely. Serve the truffles chilled or at room temperature for a softer texture.

Notes

Use dairy-free white chocolate chips to make this recipe vegan.
Freezing the truffles before coating helps them hold their shape and makes dipping easier.
Store the truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less maple syrup according to your preference.
Chilling time may vary depending on your refrigerator’s temperature.
