Baileys Almande Matcha White Chocolate Cookie Dough Truffles (Vegan, Paleo, GF, Fruit-Sweetened)

Welcome to your new favorite matcha dessert. These melt-in-your-mouth green gems of yumminess are just in time for St. Patrick's Day! Between the green color, the (optional) Baileys Almande Irish Cream (which is vegan & GF), and the fun bite-size shape, these truffles are the perfect festive treats for St. Paddy's. They are also addictively tasty and healthy. The Baileys Almande Irish Cream is totally optional, it only functions to infuse the truffles with a light Irish Cream flavor. But these truffles will still be delectable without the Baileys Almande! For those of you who are curious, Baileys Almande is an almond-milk-based, vegan, and gluten-free Irish Cream made by Baileys (and it's now strictly vegan because Baileys no longer uses honey or beeswax in their Almande liqueur). ****PLEASE NOTE: However, Baileys Almande Irish Cream contains cane sugar, so if you are strictly sugar-free, this won't be compatible on your diet. Also, alcohol isn't compatible on anti-inflammatory diets either, and Baileys Almande is 13% alcohol (of course this recipe only calls for a little Baileys, just enough to give it flavor without causing intoxication). The only reason I have a recipe that contains a sweetened alcohol is because now that I'm of age, I occasionally drink sweetened alcohols, so long as they're strictly vegan and gluten-free. And I am extremely strict when it comes to my diet (I never cheat as a vegan, I never cheat when it comes to gluten, and I very rarely cheat on sugar/other sweeteners [usually refined-sugar-free ones], alcohol, and coffee), so sweetened alcohol is really the main thing I'll cheat on. But if I do use sweetened alcohols in my desserts, they will always be optional and I will always provide an option that's strictly fruit-sweetened. If you don't want the Baileys in this recipe because of its sugar and alcohol content, then leave it out. It will still taste incredible without the liqueur.*** These truffles are vegan and gluten-free and can be made paleo & strictly fruit-sweetened if you omit the Baileys Almande Irish Cream.
