    1/4 cup coconut sugar and organic edible rose petals for decoration
  1. His: darjeeling cacao maca with nettle + sage
    1/3 cup shaved cacao butter
    3/4 cup coconut butter manna or cashew butter
    1/4 cup honey, coconut nectar, or maple syrup
    1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
    1/2 cup raw cacao powder
    1 teaspoon black tea powder

    1 dropper full nettle extract
    1/8 teaspoon Himalayan salt
    3+ tablespoons almond milk
    1/4 cup coconut sugar and cacao nibs or sage leaves for decoration

Directions

  1. Melt the cacao butter in a double boiler on low until completely melted.
  2. In a food processor, combine the melted cacao butter with all the remaining ingredients, reserving the almond milk. Process until blended well, adding almond milk in 1 tablespoon at a time until a soft, but not sticky dough is formed.
  3. Store in the fridge for a few hours or the freezer for 30 minutes to 1 hour to firm.
  4. Using a tablespoon measurement for a consistent size guide, ball batter and roll in clean hands to form spheres. If batter is still too soft to roll, return to fridge or freezer. Roll truffles in a mix of coconut sugar and powdered herbs. Top with cacao nibs, rose petals, and salt, and store in refrigerator until ready to eat.
