☕️ 1 tbsp Botanika Blends Double Shot Iced Coffee Plant Protein
☕️ ½ tsp instant coffee or espresso powder
☕️ Pinch of salt

Your New Favourite 3pm Pick-Me-Up

When your sweet tooth teams up with your coffee cravings... these little truffle bombs are the answer. Think rich, fudgy centres with a hit of Double Shot Iced Coffee Plant Protein - wrapped in smooth dark choc and sprinkled with whatever your snacky heart desires. No dairy, no nasties, no regrets. Just pure plant-based pleasure.

How to Make ‘Em

1. Get the filling going:
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt together the chocolate, coconut cream, butter/oil, and vanilla. Stir until smooth like your best flirty DM.

2. Add the buzz:
Take it off the heat. Stir in your protein powder, instant coffee, and a pinch of salt. Taste it. More coffee? Add a touch more espresso powder - but don’t go overboard unless you're planning to do backflips.

3. Chill the mix:
Spoon it into a container, pop a lid on, and refrigerate for at least 45 mins until it’s scoopable. If it's still too soft, chill longer (patience, BB).

4. Roll ‘em:
Line a tray with baking paper. Scoop, roll into balls with clean or lightly damp hands, and place them on the tray.

5. Freeze ‘em:
Give them 15-20 mins in the freezer so they don’t fall apart during the chocolate dip.

6. Melt that coating:
Gently melt the second batch of choc with a bit of coconut oil. Stir until glossy and irresistible.

7. Dip + decorate:
One by one, dip each truffle into the melted chocolate. Let the excess drip off, then place back on the tray. Add sprinkles, a drizzle, a dusting – get artsy.

8. Chill + store:
Fridge them for 20-30 mins until the coating sets. Store in an airtight container for up to a week in the fridge or longer in the freezer. (Let them thaw slightly before eating for that dreamy texture.)

Pro Tips & Variations

🌱 Too soft? Add more melted choc or coconut oil.

🌱 Want stronger coffee vibes? Dissolve your espresso powder in a splash of hot water first.

🌱 Get creative with coatings: white choc drizzle, crushed hazelnuts, matcha dust, coffee sugar, you name it.

🌱 Going nut-free? Check your choc and extras – some sneaky nuts might be hiding.
