How to Make Raw Chocolate And Date Truffles

  1. If using regular dates, soak them in warm water for at least 6 hours, or preferably overnight. Drain well before proceeding.
  2. Place 1 cup pitted dates (soaked if necessary) and ½ cup nuts (almonds, walnuts, or pecans) into a food processor.
  3. Process for 1-2 minutes, until a dense, flour-like consistency is achieved.
  4. Add ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder, ¼ cup melted coconut oil, 2 tablespoons maple syrup (or other liquid sweetener), and a pinch of sea salt. Pulse several times until the mixture begins to clump together and form a dough.
  5. Using your hands, roll the mixture into small, 1-inch balls.
  6. Roll the truffles in ½ cup desiccated coconut for coating.
  7. Refrigerate the truffles for at least 30 minutes to firm up before serving.
  8. Store truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
