Recipe type: Dessert/Snack
Serves: 9-10
Ingredients
- ⅔ cup roasted, salted almonds
- 30 whole pitted dates
- ½ cup flaked unsweetened coconut
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- 4 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped
- Sea salt for garnish
Instructions
- Place almonds in a food processor; process until finely ground. Add dates; process until finely ground. Add coconut and next 3 ingredients (through salt); pulse until combined.
- Scoop about 2 teaspoons cocoa mixture with a spoon, and roll into a ball. Repeat the procedure with remaining cocoa mixture. Don't worry if the truffles are a bit crumbly while you're rolling, they will harden when they chill. Place the truffles on a platter or baking sheet lined with parchment paper; refrigerate 1 hour.
- Place chocolate in a medium microwave-safe bowl; microwave at HIGH 1 minute and 20 seconds or until melted, stirring every 20 seconds. Add truffles, stirring gently to coat. Lightly sprinkle truffles with sea salt.
- Return truffles to the refrigerator until the chocolate sets. Enjoy!
- NOTE: Keep the truffles refrigerated, and enjoy for 1-2 weeks.
