Ingredients

  • 3 cups carrot cake layer, crumbled - I'm guessing at the size of your carrot cake for the nutrition labels
  • 8 ounces dairy-free cream cheese - softened
  • 16 ounces vegan white almond bar
  • ½ cup pecans - optional

Instructions

  • Add parchment paper to a large baking sheet.
  • Chop nuts and add to bowl for decoration.
  • Crumble cake into fine crumbs and add to a large mixing bowl.
  • Add cream cheese and stir until well combined.
  • Using a cookie dough scoop, form the mixture into balls and place balls on prepared baking sheet
  • Chill for at least one hour.
  • In a microwave-safe bowl, add 4 blocks of the almond bar.
  • Heat for 1 minute, stir and continue heating for 20-30 seconds, stirring after each heating and stop just before the coating is completely melted.
  • Stir until coating is smooth.
  • Remove 4-5 cake balls from the refrigerator at a time.
  • Using two forks, dip truffles in melted coating. Lift out with one fork. Allow excess coating to drip off.
  • Use the other fork to push the dipped truffle onto the prepared baking sheet.
  • Immediately add a small amount of chopped nuts, if desired.
  • Repeat with remaining truffles using additional almond bars if necessary.
  • Let set until completely hardened.
  • Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
