Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Dried figs
- 1 cup Dried apricots
- 0.5 cup Almonds
- 0.5 cup Chopped walnuts
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Desiccated coconut (optional, for rolling)
Instructions
Add the dried figs and apricots to a food processor. Blend until the mixture becomes paste-like and starts clumping together.
Add the almonds, walnuts, cocoa powder, honey, and vanilla extract to the food processor. Blend again until the mixture is fully combined and forms a sticky dough. If needed, scrape down the sides of the food processor to ensure everything is mixed evenly.
Scoop out about a tablespoon-sized portion of the mixture and roll it into a small ball using your hands. Repeat with the rest of the mixture to form approximately 12 truffles.
Optional: Pour the desiccated coconut into a shallow bowl and roll each truffle in the coconut until lightly coated.
Place the truffles on a plate or tray and refrigerate them for at least 30 minutes to firm them up.
Serve chilled and store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
