Coconut Date Truffles Recipe

photo by recipe author

Servings: about 30 truffles (depending on how big you roll them)
Preparation Time: 20 – 30 minutes

• 1 cup dates, pitted
• 1 cup unsweetened coconut
• 2 tablespoons unsweetened dark cocoa powder
• 1/2 cup almond butter
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
• 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
• (additional unsweetened dark cocoa powder to roll truffles in)

Make sure all of your dates are pitted by cutting a slice in the date and pulling out the pits.

Place all of the ingredients (except the additional cocoa powder) in a food processor. Process until finely ground.

Place a small amount of cocoa powder in a shallow bowl.

Roll mixture into small balls, the size of your preference. I like to roll them into marble sized balls.

Drop 3 or 4 balls in the bowl with cocoa powder and roll around until coated.

Store dates chilled until ready to serve.

OPTIONS: Instead of rolling your truffles in cocoa powder, you can also use toasted almonds or unsweetened coconut!
