With these special resources in hand, you’re sure to keep your blood sugars steady and your waistline in order.
I have a new recipe I can’t wait to share.
This weekend I co-taught a class about how to make delicious party foods.
Karen Osborne came up with a fabulous dessert recipe called Ambrosia Amaretto Truffles.
Since I just led a group of over 100 people through a blood sugar balancing program, I am keenly aware of the need for yummy, festive dessert recipes that are low-glycemic. All of our dessert recipes are sweetened with whole foods, but even things like dates are not well tolerated by people with blood sugar imbalances and candida issues.
So I took Karen’s recipe and made a few changes to it so it would be friendly for folks concerned about diabetes, insulin resistance, and candida overgrowth.
Low-Glycemic Amaretto Truffles
Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup almond butter
- 1/2 cup coconut butter
- 1/4 cup lucuma powder
- 1/4 cup carob powder
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons ground vanilla beans
- 1 tablespoon almond extract
- 12 drop Sweet Leaf Stevia extract (chocolate flavor if possible)
- 1/4 cup almonds, ground to a powder
- 1/2 cup almonds, ground to a powder or 1/2 cup finely shredded coconut for snowball truffles (Note: This is used to roll the truffles when formed. You can roll half in coocnut and half in almonds if you choose)
Directions:
- Combine all ingredients except the 1/2 cup ground almonds or coconut.
- Process in a food processor or stir together until smooth.
- Form a teaspoon of dough into a ball. If it’s too “gooey” add a little extra ground almonds to dry it a bit. Continue forming balls until all dough is used.
- Roll balls in ground almonds and or coconut.
- Refrigerate for a couple of hours or freeze for at least 1/2 hr.
This low-glycemic dessert version was as big a hit as the traditional truffle.
The traditional version of the recipe, an 18-page recipe guide, and 2 1/2 hour video from the class are all available for purchase:

Thanks for sharing this. Looks yummy. Sounds like a lot of lucuma, but the taste will tell!

Is there an alternative to Stevia? I’m allergic to that.
