Instructions
  1. Make the matcha filling
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, matcha powder, and salt. Add maple syrup, melted coconut oil, and vanilla. Stir until a soft dough forms.

  4. Scoop about 1 tablespoon of dough and roll into balls. Place on a parchment-lined tray and freeze for 15–20 minutes until firm.
  5. Melt the chocolate
  6. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt white chocolate with coconut oil in 20-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth.
  7. Coat the truffles
  8. Using a fork, dip each chilled truffle into melted chocolate. Tap off excess and place back on parchment paper.
  9. Decorate
  10. Before the coating sets, sprinkle with green sprinkles, crushed nuts, or coconut.
  11. Chill to set
  12. Refrigerate for 10–15 minutes until the coating hardens. Serve chilled or slightly softened.
