Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces Medjool dates (pitted)
- 1 cup Raw almonds
- 3 tablespoons Cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon Coconut oil (melted)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Sea salt
- 0.5 cup Shredded coconut (optional, for coating)
- 2 tablespoons Extra cocoa powder (optional, for coating)
Instructions
Place the raw almonds into a food processor and pulse until they form a coarse meal. Do not over-process to avoid turning them into almond butter.
Add the pitted Medjool dates, cocoa powder, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, and sea salt to the food processor.
Process the mixture until it combines into a sticky, dough-like consistency. Scrape down the sides of the food processor as needed.
Using clean hands, scoop out roughly 1 tablespoon of the mixture and roll it into a small ball. Repeat this step until all the mixture is used up, forming about 12 truffles.
If desired, roll the truffles in shredded coconut or extra cocoa powder for an added coating.
Transfer the truffles to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up before serving.
Store the truffles in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or in the freezer for up to 1 month.
