Notes
- Unsweetened chocolate has no added sugar or sweeteners, if you don't have it handy you may use dark bittersweet chocolate or chocolate chips instead. But note that the truffles will be sweeter and the calories with increase.
- You can find coconut yogurt in most grocery stores! It will either be with the regular yogurt or in a health food section. You may replace it with almond, cashew, or another plant-based yogurt.
- You may use sunflower butter or tahini if you have a nut allergy.
