Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces Medjool dates (pitted)
- 0.5 cups Raw almonds
- 2 tablespoons Cocoa powder (unsweetened)
- 0.25 cups Shredded coconut (unsweetened)
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoons Sea salt
- 1 tablespoons Chia seeds
- 2 tablespoons Sesame seeds (optional, for coating)
- 1 tablespoon Cocoa powder (optional, for coating)
- 2 tablespoons Shredded coconut (optional, for coating)
Instructions
Place the pitted Medjool dates in a food processor and pulse a few times until they break down into a sticky paste.
Add the raw almonds, unsweetened cocoa powder, shredded coconut, vanilla extract, sea salt, and chia seeds to the processor.
Blend the mixture until all the ingredients are well-combined and resemble a sticky dough. Stop to scrape down the sides of the processor as needed.
Scoop out approximately 1 tablespoon of the mixture and roll it between your palms to form a smooth truffle ball. Repeat with the remaining mixture until you have about 12 truffles.
If desired, roll the truffles in sesame seeds, cocoa powder, or shredded coconut for a decorative coating.
Place the truffles in an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up before serving.
Enjoy these healthy truffles as a quick snack, dessert, or energy boost throughout the day!
