If you're looking for the perfect vegan protein snack, then this vegan protein cookie dough truffle recipe is for you! This recipe started as an experiment, but I've been so obsessed with how they've worked out, that I've basically eaten the whole load in one sitting - I'm not even sorry!
As I have teamed up with Herbalife UK to create this recipe, I have used their banana flavoured Tri Blend protein powder. At first, I was a bit hesitant to go for a banana flavoured protein - my general protein preference of vanilla & chocolate is pretty basic after all - but I'm so so happy to have gone out of my comfort zone and am now totally obsessed with this banana flavour!
It gives these vegan cookie dough truffles a subtle taste of banana bread - something I can definitely get on board with!

How to Make Protein Cookie Dough Truffles
Creating the truffle base
For the base of these cookie dough truffles, I am using both almond and coconut flour, as well as 3 scoops for the Tri Blend protein powder, keeping the truffles naturally gluten free. Mix all these ingredients together in a mixing bowl.
Then make a well in the mixture before adding the wet ingredients, including vanilla extract (for some extra flavouring), coconut oil and also maple syrup to add some delicious sweetness.
You could totally create these without maple syrup but bear in mind that you will need to replace this wet ingredient in order for the dough to become sticky enough to roll without crumbling. I could imagine that 2 tablespoon water will suffice, but I also have to admit that I have not tried and tested it with water, so be cautious.
The coconut oil helps mould the truffles and hold the cookie dough perfectly together when cooled, hence why I like to place the dough balls in the fridge before covering them with chocolate, so they keep their shape for longer (unless I instantly devour them, that is!).
I love adding dairy free chocolate chips to the cookie dough - they had a great texture to every bite!
Shaping your dough balls
Next, roll your cookie dough into little balls. If you're using the measurements I've mentioned below in the recipe card then you should be able to make 8-12 balls depending on how big you want them! Once you've got your dough balls, place them in the fridge or freezer for 15 minutes.
Melting your chocolate
While you're waiting for the cookie dough to firm up, melt a block of vegan chocolate over a double boiler and when it's ready, drop your cookie dough balls in to coat them in the melted chocolate. Gently take them out of the chocolate using a fork and place them on a freezer-proof platter before putting them in the freezer for 10 minutes.
Once the 10 minutes are up, all that's left to do is enjoy! They should keep in the fridge for 7 days or so, but there's no harm in eating them in one sitting!
