It doesn’t get much easier than these chocolate truffles, and they’re the perfect dessert for when it’s too hot to cook. Sweetened with maple syrup (or you could use honey), and with the high fat content of coconut oil and nut butter, they won’t give you a sugar spike, either. If maple and honey are too high-carb for your lifestyle, try them with your favorite liquid keto sweetener.
These no-cook chocolate truffles only require 4 ingredients, plus a few optional additions to roll them in.
To make these truffles, all you need is a bowl and a spoon for mixing the ingredients. There’s a good chance you already have most of the ingredients in your pantry!
Psssst… Yes, you! Are you sick of thinking about what to cook? Here’s my solution.
What you need to make chocolate truffles:
- nut butter (any type should work, or use sunbutter for nut-free)
- coconut oil (you’ll want it to be room temp / softened)
- maple syrup (or use honey or your favorite liquid keto sweetener)
- cocoa powder
If you’d like, you can roll them in some additional ingredients, like:
- ground freeze-dried fruit like strawberries or raspberries
- finely ground nuts
- cocoa powder (I like to mix it with powdered sugar to cut some of the bitterness)
Possibly the best thing about these truffles: You don’t even need to turn on a burner on your stove! With the heatwave that we’re currently experiencing, that’s a very, very good thing.

These look so good! Is there an alternative to nut butter if someone is allergic to nuts?
How is the best way to store them?

Can you do seeds? Sun butter would work great. Airtight container in the fridge is the best way to store them. They’ll harden up in there so take them out 30-60 minutes before serving.
