The ingredients

These birthday cake truffles are made with simple, healthy ingredients for the best flavor and texture. Each truffle has a chocolate shell and is decorated with fun sprinkles. Here's everything you'll need:

• Almond Butter: I love using all-natural creamy almond butter for these truffles. You can also use peanut, cashew, or sun butter if needed.
• Maple Syrup: Naturally sweetens the truffles without added refined sugar. You can also use honey if you prefer.
• Vanilla Extract + Almond Extract: These add great flavor. Feel free to skip if you're not a fan of almond extract or are using a different butter.
• Coconut Flour: Helps bind the ingredients together while giving the truffles a light texture. Tip: If you don't have coconut flour, try almond flour in a 1:3 ratio—1 tablespoon of coconut flour equals 3 tablespoon of almond flour.
• Sprinkles: Add a fun, festive touch and a bit of crunch to each bite.
• Coconut Oil: Helps melt the chocolate smoothly and keeps it from hardening too quickly.
• White Chocolate: Coats the truffles for a smooth, sweet finish. Tip: Use high-quality white chocolate for the best melting and coating. You can also use regular chocolate for a different flavor.

Step-by-step how to make birthday cake truffles

These healthy birthday cake truffles are easy, fun, and absolutely delicious! Here's how to make them step-by-step:

Step One: Line a baking tray with parchment paper and make sure it fits in your freezer.

Step Two: In a large bowl, mix almond butter, maple syrup, vanilla extract, almond extract, and coconut flour until smooth. Fold in the sprinkles.

Step Three: Roll the dough into 12–14 balls with your hands and place them on the prepared tray. Freeze for 10–15 minutes to firm up.

Step Four: Melt the white chocolate and coconut oil while the truffles chill. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each until smooth and entirely melted.

Step Five: Remove the truffles from the freezer and dip each one into the melted white chocolate, coating them completely. Use two forks or spoons to lift them out and place them back on the tray. Add sprinkles on top before the chocolate hardens.

Step Six: Freeze the coated truffles for another 20 minutes until the chocolate is set.

Enjoy your truffles straight from the fridge, and store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge!

My top recipe tips:

1. Don't skip the chilling: Freezing the dough balls and then the coated truffles ensures the perfect texture and helps the chocolate set properly.
2. Work fast with melted chocolate: White chocolate sets quickly, so have your sprinkles ready before you start dipping.
3. Melt chocolate in short bursts: Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, to avoid burning or clumping.
4. Switch up the almond butter: Feel free to use peanut butter, cashew butter, granola butter, or sun butter for a nut-free option. They all work perfectly!
