Cacao Hempress Truffles
Packed with omega-3 fatty acids and good fats, these paleo Cacao Hempress Truffles are everything your inner empress needs!
The empress (queen) archetype comes out in the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle (days 15-28) as well as in the peri-menopause phase of the cycles of womanhood. We experience a “queen” energy because these are phases where energetically, it’s a powerful time for creating boundaries.
As hormones biologically shift, estrogen and progesterone levels can cause PMS and pre-menopause symptoms such as night sweats, irritability, food cravings, abdominal cramping and pain, and migraines. Eating a diet consistently filled with healthy fats, clean protein, and an abundance of low carbohydrate vegetables will support hormone balance, to alleviate physical symptoms.
However, spiritually these physical symptoms bring strong intuitive messages- helping a woman know where to place her energy and where to cut cords by saying “no” to promised obligations agreed upon due to people pleasing, or with fiery strength to make changes in routines, relationships, and habits that are not supportive.
True queen/empress energy! Owning her worth and establishing healthy boundaries.
When and if cravings arise at these phases, my Cacao Hempress Truffles can do the trick!

Serves: 16
Ingredients:
4 Tablespoons cacao butter
4 Tablespoons hemp seeds
1 Tablespoon coconut flour
1 Tablespoon cacao nibs
1 Tablespoon coconut nectar
½ teaspoon vanilla
5 drops stevia
1/2 cup cacao paste, heaping
3 Tablespoons coconut oil
Directions:
- Melt cacao butter over low heat.
- Place all other ingredients in a bowl and stir in melted cacao butter. Refrigerate for 10 mins to firm up.
- Meanwhile, to make chocolate: create a double boiler by heating water in a medium sauce pan and bring to boil. Turn off heat and place a small glass or ceramic, durable bowl in the pot, making sure the water does not overflow into bowl. Add cacao to bowl and let it melt.
- Once cacao melts, add coconut oil. Stir well, until cacao paste and coconut oil become mixed and a liquid-consistency. Without the coconut, the cacao will be too thick.
- Pull hemp batter from fridge.
- Scoop 1 teaspoon of hemp batter in silicon semicircle mold- about 1.5 inches per hole. (put mold on top of cutting board or tray, so it can be easy to pick up and put into the freezer.
- Add 1 Tablespoon of cacao liquid into each mold.
