Two favorite desserts come together in this healthy, high protein, gluten-free cookie dough truffle! Using a secret ingredient, these won’t last long in your kitchen!
Remember my Cookie Dough Dip that was one of your favorites on here?! Yep, the one made with BEANS!
WELL. I decided to MAKE IT AGAIN on Valentine’s Day for a healthier dessert among all the not-so-healthy desserts…And it was a hit! Even with my big bro and church’s small group who would have NEVER eaten it if I had told them it was made of beans.
But I didn’t tell anyone UNTIL they tried it. ( I brought it along with regular puppy chow to make them think the truffles weren’t healthy either)…and then I released the secret once they all were in love 🙂
Except I did something new (as you can tell by the photos by now).
Yep, I made them into BALLS and coated them in CHOCOLATE.
Well, I guess it’s only KINDA new since I made these high protein truffles the other week in a similar way. By the way, did you like those?!
Yeah, I didn’t think the dip could get better either…but as we all know, ALL things are better with CHOCOLATE. (and they have many benefits like you saw in this post!)
Just store them in the freezer and let them sit out 5 minutes before serving, and you’ve got a GREAT (yet healthy) dessert that will definitely be a hit!
