Instructions
- To make the almond butter filling, combine the almond butter, starch, coconut flour, maple syrup, salt, and almond extract, if using, and stir well until a thick dough is formed.
- Use a tablespoon to scoop the dough onto a lined plate or baking sheet, and roll the balls between your hands for a smoother surface, if desired. Place the sheet in the freezer to let the filling firm up while you make the chocolate coating.
- To prepare the chocolate coating, whisk together the cacao powder, maple syrup, and coconut oil until smooth. Use a spoon to pour the filling over each almond butter mound. (Avoid dipping them into the mixture, because you want the chocolate to stay on the warm-side to keep it smooth and work-able. If your kitchen is too cold, you might want to set it in a warm oven for a moment to re-melt the chocolate. It should firm up quickly when it touches the cold almond butter filling.
- Return the chocolate-covered mounds to the freezer to set, about 15 minutes. Serve directly from the fridge or freezer to keep the chocolate from melting.
