Sinfully rich and delicious, these truffles are coated with a fine layer of toasted almonds for crunchy. A touch of tonka bean adds a more complex and interesting vanilla flavour to this sweet confection.

- Place unsalted butter, coconut syrup and coconut cream in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer and allow it to simmer for 2-3 minutes.
- Add in almond meals and tonka bean powder. Stir until combined. Now stir in chopped chocolate until melted and combined. Set aside to cool.
- Roll the mixture into 18-20 balls. Roll in chopped toasted almonds to coat. Refrigerate until firm and ready for use. Remove from fridge 10 minutes before serving.

I've never used tonka beans in any form! I'll need to get the powder so I can make these. Can never resist truffles! These look excellent -- thanks.
So I've never heard of Tonka beans but my son used to love playing with Tonka trucks! You always find such unique ingredients Angie!
I like the flavours and the look of these truffles. They must be delicious!
Almond and chocolate are so awesome for truffles, and wow with the added Tonka bean they must be divine, that stuff is the best.
Well you certainly used the right word for these treats - Sinfully! I have no idea what tonka bean taste like but I'm sold on the coconut and chocolate ingredients. Fabulous truffles Angie!
I love all kinds of sweet and treats with toasted almonds. Beautiful truffles, Angie.

Have to look for tonka ...... thank you for this educational one !
These truffles are absolutely gorgeous, Angie!! I am obsessing over the almond and coconut combination! These are such a delicious treat!!!
Wow Angie. Simple delicious ingredients. Wish I could have one now
These look delicious, love the chopped almonds on the outside, they look great.

Interesting! I do love truffles and want to try this recipe.What is Tonka bean powder, Angie?
Angie, this is great! I don't even like candy, but I know I'd like these truffles!
If I didn't get such severe allergic reactions to almonds, ALMONDS WOULD BE MY FAVORITE - those and cashews! Mmmm! THESE look so stinking good!!!!
Hi Angie,
First of all, thank you so much for not giving up on me...I appreciate how supportive you have been...always placing a comment on my post.
The truffles look awesome, I have never heard let alone used Tonka beans powder, so interesting!
Have a great week!
Oh, my. What decadent little gems, Angie. Looks delicious!
@Balvinder Ubi Tonka bean is the seed of flowering tree in the pea family. You can buy the whole bean or powder on amazon.
I love truffles and you can never go wrong with almond and chocolate. They look so tempting Angie!
Looks wonderful. I could use a handful right now!
jolie truffe bien délicieuse
bonne soirée
You use the most interesting ingredients! I've never eaten a tonka bean.
It looks so great! :)
Delicious little treats Angie! Would love to try one! I never had tonka bean before either.
I've been having trouble getting my comments to appear Angie - Love these little bites of deliciousness - and I'll have to look into the tonka beans!
Your truffles look delightful! Chocolate and nuts always gets my attention :) I've been reading about tonka bean as a replacement for vanilla extract which is getting more and more costly. Do you grind the beans yourself, Angie?
someone would have to take these away from me lest i eat the whole batch!
Such gorgeous truffles, Angie! Would make lovely gifts - if I can bring myself to part with them! :)
These sound and look delicious. I love that they are healthy too.
They remind me of the little balls we make here with barley and raisins and called Kopania! Delicious little balls Angie!
These truffles look and sound wonderful. I love that you used tonka bean as a flavouring, I still have a couple of beans from my blogger friend Dave who visited Toronto last August.

Love these cute dainty treats, must be very fragrant with the coconut.
You've completely got me with these truffles. I thought I'd tried most methods of chocolate truffles, but obviously not. Gorgeous.
I'm not familiar with tonka bean - so interesting - thanks for sharing - these look fabulous!
You always have the most exquisite sweet treat! Going to find out what are Tonka beans :p
Wow, Angie - these are so impressive!
Angie,
What a decadent dessert yet healthy! As always , I love your beautiful presentation and photos!
These truffles look gorgeous, Angie!
These will certainly satisfy my sweet tooth. Yummy!
They look so yum. Perfect to munch on a hungry evening :)
I wish I had one of these cute little bites right now!
What a delsious sounding treat, and those almonds look so good.
