optional: goji berries, maca powder, spirulina, lucuma...any superfoods you want to add in to boost the flavor and nutrition.
Mix cacao powder, salt, and vanilla extract.
Add in melted coconut oil and combine well. Oil can be melted by placing it in a container within a hot bowl of water, or left out in a warm room. If you're not concerned with this recipe being entirely raw, you can melt the oil over a low flame on the stove.
Add in sweetener of choice until you reach desired sweetness. In this recipe I used about 2-3 tablespoons of raw coconut nectar, plus a few drops of liquid stevia. You could use a dry sweetener like coconut sugar, in which case you may need to compensate with a little more coconut oil.
Mix everything together until smooth, adding in a sprinkle of any of the optional superfoods - be sure to taste as you go so that they don't overpower the chocolate taste.
Sprinkle in a 1/2 cup to a cup of hemp seeds, until they are well coated in the mixture.
Mix in the cacao nibs - if you love the taste and crunchy texture, add more than a tablespoon.
Use a spoon to scoop up the mixture into bite-size balls. You can also roll them in your hands, but warning: it gets really messy!
Place truffle balls on a tray or plate and sprinkle with matcha powder. If you enjoy a strong green tea flavor, sprinkle liberally.
Put truffles into the freezer to chill for 10-15 minutes.
Remove from freezer and press down on a truffle to confirm that they're hardened. If not, put them back in for a little longer.
Once they've reached the preferred consistency, leave the truffles out on counter for a couple of minutes before enjoying.
