Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Pitted dates
- 0.5 cup Dried apricots
- 0.5 cup Dried cranberries
- 0.5 cup Almonds
- 0.25 cup Unsweetened shredded coconut
- 2 tablespoons Cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 pinch Pinch of salt
- 0.25 cup Extra unsweetened shredded coconut or cocoa powder (optional, for coating)
Instructions
In a food processor, combine the pitted dates, dried apricots, dried cranberries, and almonds. Pulse until the mixture is finely chopped and starts to clump together.
Add the unsweetened shredded coconut, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Process until the mixture forms a sticky dough-like texture.
Scoop out about 1 tablespoon of the mixture and roll it between your hands to form a small ball. Repeat with the rest of the dough until all the truffles are shaped.
If desired, roll each truffle in extra shredded coconut or cocoa powder to coat the surface.
Place the truffles on a plate or in an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow them to firm up.
Serve chilled or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
