Black Forest Protein Bites with Glazed Cherries
Servings 12
Ingredients
- 1 Cup Almond Flour
- 1/4 Cup Orgain Organic Chocolate Protein Powder
- 1/4 Cup Lakanto Monkfruit Sweetener
- 2 Tbl Cocoa Powder
- 1/3 Cup Unsweetened Dried Cherries (Chopped small)
- 1/2 Tsp Almond Extract
- 2 Tbl Coconut Oil, Melted
- 1 Cup ChocZero Dark Chocolate
- 12 Glazed Cherries (one for each bite)
Instructions
- Prepare the Dough: In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, Orgain Organic Chocolate Protein Powder, Lakanto Monkfruit Sweetener, dark cocoa powder, chopped dried cherries, almond extract, and melted coconut oil. Stir until the mixture is well combined and forms a dough-like consistency.
- Form the Bites: Roll the mixture into 12 bite-sized balls (about 1 inch in diameter) and place them on a parchment-lined tray.
- Chill the Bites: Place the bites in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
- Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt 3/4 cup of the sugar-free dark chocolate chips in 20-30 second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth.
- Coat in Chocolate: Dip each chilled bite into the melted chocolate to coat them evenly. Use a fork to lift each bite out of the chocolate, allowing any excess to drip off, and place them back on the parchment-lined tray.
- Drizzle and Garnish: Melt the remaining 1/4 cup of sugar-free dark chocolate chips and drizzle over each coated bite for extra decoration. Immediately place a glazed cherry on top of each bite, pressing gently to adhere.
- Set and Serve: Allow the chocolate coating and drizzle to set in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes before serving. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator.
- This makes 12 bites. Each bite is 6 WW Points. Enjoy!
