How to Make White Chocolate Fruit And Nut Truffles

  1. In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup pitted Medjool dates, 1/2 cup dried cranberries, 1/4 cup orange juice, zest of 1 orange, 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg, and 2 tablespoons honey. Bring to a boil.
  2. Remove from heat, cover, and let stand for 5-10 minutes to soften the dates.
  3. Finely chop 1/2 cup walnuts and combine with 1/2 cup shredded sweetened coconut.
  4. With damp hands, gently combine the date mixture (fruit puree) with the walnut and coconut mixture.
  5. Roll the mixture into 3/4-inch balls and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  6. Allow the truffle balls to cool completely in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
  7. Place 12 ounces of white chocolate baking chips in a microwave-safe bowl.
  8. Microwave on high for 1 minute, then stir. Continue microwaving in 30-second intervals, stirring until completely melted and smooth.
  9. Stir in the remaining 2 ounces of white chocolate chips until melted and glossy.
  10. Dip each cooled truffle ball into the melted white chocolate, ensuring they are fully coated. Place them back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet.
  11. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the chocolate to set completely.
  12. If the chocolate cools and thickens during dipping, return it to the microwave for 15-20 seconds at a time, stirring until smooth.
  13. Once completely set, store the truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.
