3 ingredient cookie dough truffles that taste and feel just like a decadent dessert but are made with NO grains, oil, eggs, or refined sugars. They’re gluten-free, vegan, and a healthy and delicious way to satisfy those chocolate cravings!
The best things in life are free covered in chocolate…
… and [chocolate] sprinkles…
… and taste like dessert when they’re actually made with only a few (read: 3) super healthy ingredients. Meaning that these 3 ingredient cookie dough truffles are basically one of the best things in life…
Especially since they’re so crazy easy to make. Like, literally 3 ingredients.
First, dates*. Nature’s caramel and the perfect sweetener. Not only because they help hold the base of these truffles together, but because they help keep them refined-sugar-free and add a nice touch of fibre and minerals. It’s the little things.
Next, almond flour*. I usually make my bites with ground oats, but I wanted to try to keep these grain-free so I went the almond flour route… and it kind of knocked my socks right off. I don’t know the magic behind it, but I always find that almond flour adds a slight buttery taste to whatever I use it in, without having to actually use any butter – perfect for when you want something to taste like cookie dough.
And finally, chocolate*… because, like I mentioned earlier, the best things in life are covered in chocolate and I hope you love these particular things.
Happy eating!

3 Ingredient Cookie Dough Truffles
- Total Time: 10 mins
- Yield: 12 truffles 1x
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup (90 g) dates, pitted
- 1 cup (112 g) almond flour
- 1/2 cup (60 g) chocolate chips
- optional: pinch of salt, 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon,
Instructions
- Add the dates and almond flour to the bowl of a food processor or high-speed blender and process on high until they have fully combined to form a sticky dough. The mixture should stick together easily when pressed without being overly sticky. If you’re having trouble getting it to stick, add a tablespoon (15 ml) of almond milk until the right texture is reached.
- Using a tablespoon, roll the dough between your hands to form individual balls. Set them aside on a plate lined with parchment paper, and repeat with the remaining dough.
- To prepare the chocolate coating, melt the chocolate in the microwave or over a double broiler, stirring periodically to ensure no clumps remain. Using a toothpick, dip each ball into the melted chocolate, gently tapping the side of the bowl to remove any excess. Place back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet and repeat until all truffles have been coated. Sprinkle with toppings, if desired.
- Refrigerate for ~15 minutes, or until the chocolate has set. Store the truffles in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
- Prep Time: 10 mins

These 3 ingredient cookie dough truffles look delicious and they seem really easy to prepare. Thanks for sharing this.
I adore the simplicity behind these. Cookie dough and chocolate = be still my overtired and over caffeinated heart. They’re perfect for me. 🙂
You are a freaking magician! I never would have thought 3 ingredients could create such beautiful little truffles of bliss. Also, you’re giving me major photography goals. The white light in these photos is ethereal!
I never have dates in my house because we just don’t use them enough but, these look fab and I think I’ll have to go get some!
These look DIVINE!!!
Yes! I love me a 3 ingredient recipe involving chocolate. Pretty sure I’d eat all of these in one sitting 😀 I’ve been obsessed and snacking on banana muffins lately…cant stop!
I love how simple these are! You are a genius in the kitchen, as always!
You have such a genius way with finding the right balance between great tasting with healthy ingredients, Amanda!

Hi Amanda
Wow these look absolutely stunning!
Re snacks..my post workout snack: almond butter hemp seed cookie or your flourless choc chip muffin with extra AB slathered on
Snack snack: butter salted popcorn or your flourless gingerbread cookies..love!
Would you have a suggestion for a substitute for the almond flour due to nut allergies?
Drool worthy! You always make chocolate look so good.
Woah, I never would have thought it was that easy. That is awesome and they look great.
Oh boy, these would require some serious self control. Love that they only require three ingredients too!
These are 100% genius! All my truffles use dates and they really make them taste like caramel treats! Also you make the chocolate look prettier than I’ve ever seen chocolate before – just saying 😉
Oh my, these sounds wonderful and easy! I need a few more dates to make this recipe, so they’ve been added to the grocery list! I can’t wait to try these and share them with friends!
Well would you look at that – I just so happen to have alllll of these ingredients on hand. 😉
Looks amazing girlie!
oh these are crazy easy! I could use a new snack these days. and I love chocolate sprinkles!
Gahh still haven’t used dates in anything! I don’t know what I’m afraid of, lol, but I need to just do it because these look amazing!
