With Valentine’s Day this week I’m planning on bringing you ALL the festive desserts. Hello red velvet everything. Hello chocolate everything. Give me heart shaped. Give me indulgence.
I mean, let’s be real, I don’t usually wait for holidays to get my treats in but I do love using holidays to guide the kind of desserts I make.
I loved these no bake sugar cookie truffles that I made around Christmas time and thought it would be fun to make a red velvet version. It’s no bake so it comes together soo easily.
If you love red velvet desserts as much as I do, you need to try this red velvet cookie skillet, these red velvet whoopie pies, and these red velvet cookies with white chocolate chips! I also have these red velvet cupcakes which are fun and this red velvet hot chocolate. Man, now that I’m thinking about it there’s a lot of red velvet happening on this blog and I’m not mad about it.
So let’s jump into the recipe and make these No Bake Red Velvet Truffles! They are so simple to mix together in a bowl and even my kids were loving these!!
Mix together the melted butter and agave nectar in a medium bowl until combined. Add the almond flour, cocoa powder, and salt to the bowl. I found it easiest to use a rubber spatula to fold everything together.
Add the red food coloring and fold the batter together until it’s red throughout. Chill in the fridge for 20 minutes.
Prepare a baking sheet or cutting board with parchment paper. Use a cookie scoop or two tablespoons to scoop even dough balls and roll them in between your hands to make them smooth. Place on the parchment paper.
Heat the white chocolate chips and coconut oil in the microwave for about 1 minute and 30 seconds, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth.
Place one ball into the white chocolate, coat it with chocolate, and then use a fork to transfer the truffle back onto the parchment paper. Using a fork allows the excess chocolate to drip back into the bowl. Continue this process until all the truffles are coating with white chocolate.
Sprinkle each truffle with whatever decorations you want. I used some dried flower petals and white sugar sprinkles. Chill in the fridge for another 20 minutes until the chocolate is hardened. Store in the fridge until you’re ready to enjoy!

Soooo yummy and very quick to make 🙂 I’ll definitely be making these again.
What kind of white chocolate do you recommend using. It’s hard for me to find one without a ton of sugar.
I know Lily’s chocolates has lots of low sugar options! Let me know how you make out! xo
These are incredible! So quick to make and to eat 😉 I will definitely be making these for all holidays going forward. Yum!!
