Vegan, sugar free, gluten free Date Truffles
 
 
Serves: 10-12
Ingredients
Coconut Almond Date Truffles
  • 12 dates, soaked in warm water with 1 tbsp rum for 10-15 minutes
  • ⅔ cup almonds
  • 2 tbsp cocoa
  • 1 tbsp honey (or agave nectar for vegans)
  • ½ cup unsweetened dessicated coconut
Date Walnut Truffles
  • 12 dates, soaked in hot water with 2 tsp coffee for 10-15 minutes
  • ¾ cup walnuts
  • 3 tbsp cocoa (or in this case if you do not mind adding sugar I generally put 1 tbsp cocoa and 2 tbsp drinking chocolate- makes it a little creamier)
  • A drop of Lorann’s cream cheese oil (you could add vanilla essence instead)
Instructions
  1. Deseed the soaked dates and keep them aside to dry a bit.
  2. In a food processor, process the almonds until they turn into small pieces. Add in the cocoa and coconut and process a little more until they make a fine powder.
  3. Add in the dates and honey, and process until it all comes together.
  4. Oil your hands slightly with coconut oil and shape small balls. Roll them in sprinkles or desiccated coconut.
(Note: I used my digital scale and weighed each ball to 18 grams before shaping.)
