Directions 

A gentle melt of chocolate and coconut cream creates the base, followed by mint extract, maple syrup, and a dusting of MaquiOrganic 100% maqui berry powder. 

Once stirred together, the mixture thickens as it cools, allowing you to fold in coconut flour for structure before shaping the truffles by hand.

After chilling, they roll easily in cocoa powder or extra maqui powder, giving them a soft, velvety coating.

The process supports a calm, enjoyable pace, letting the ingredients come together naturally. 

Recipe Notes

A brief chill helps the mixture firm up so shaping becomes smooth and mess-free.

Store the truffles in an airtight container to maintain freshness and keep the berry tone vibrant. 

A light dusting of maqui powder gives each piece a colourful finish supported by the natural depth of MaquiOrganic 100% maqui berry powder.
