Makes: 12–16 Truffles
Ingredients:
- 2 cups Medjool dates, pitted
- 1 cup almond meal
- 1 cup chopped walnuts
- ½ cup organic goji berries
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin coconut oil
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened almond milk
- ½ cup raw cacao powder
- ¼ cup raw cacao nibs
- ½ cup organic desiccated coconut
How to Make Almond Truffles
Step 1: Blend the Base
In a food processor or blender, combine dates, almond meal, walnuts, goji berries, coconut oil, almond milk, and cacao powder. Blend until the mixture is well combined and slightly crumbly. If it’s too dry, add an extra teaspoon of coconut oil.
Step 2: Add Crunch & Roll
Stir in cacao nibs, but don’t blend them—they add a delightful crunch! Roll the mixture into bite-sized balls, then coat each one in desiccated coconut.
Step 3: Set & Enjoy
Place the truffles in the fridge for at least 2 hours to firm up. If you can’t wait that long, enjoy them right away!
Storage & Pro Tips
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week.
- For extra indulgence, drizzle with melted dark chocolate before chilling.
- Medjool dates work best, but if using regular dried dates, soak them in warm water for 20 minutes to soften.
