Peanut Butter Truffles (Advanced SCD)

1 cup Creamy Peanut Butter (SCD legal for SCD'ers)
8 TBSP (one stick) Butter
1 cup Almond Flour (not almond meal)
2 TBSP Honey (adjust if you need to)
1 1/2 cups Unsweetened Coconut Flakes

In a food processor combine peanut butter, butter, almond flour and honey. Pulse until smooth and creamy. Put into a freezer safe bowl and freeze a couple of hours until solid. Scoop out with a teaspoon, roll into balls and then roll in coconut to coat. Keep refrigerated until ready to serve. Makes about 24 truffles.

Elaine's Almond Rocca (SCD)

This is one of Elaine Gottshall's recipes and it can be found here. It's heavenly! I made it for Christmas parties in 2008 and it was a big hit. This website is Jaynette (Gay) Bauer's and has many useful links for SCD recipes.

To make the Almond Rocca, I didn't have sliced almonds. I toasted three cups of whole almonds and pulsed them in my food processor. I used two cups in the recipe and spread one cup on top. I do not have a candy thermometer so I used the old fashioned method. I put a bowl of cold water by the stove. After fifteen minutes of boiling and stirring, then every few minutes I would drop a small amount of mixture into the cold water. When it was crunchy it was ready.
