Description
Delicious no-bake chocolate coconut truffles made with Medjool dates and nut flour.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup Medjool dates (pitted)
- 1 cup unsweetened coconut
- 1 cup nut flour (of choice)
- 1 tbsp melted coconut oil
- 1/2 tsp coconut oil (for chocolate)
- 1 tbsp pure maple syrup
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Soak dates in warm water for about 10 minutes.
- Layer parchment paper on a baking sheet and add coconut. Bake for 3-5 minutes on the middle rack.
- Remove the pits and add the dates to a food processor along with the toasted coconut, nut flour, coconut oil, and maple syrup. Blend until incorporated and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes.
- Once the mixture is cool, form the balls with your hands, portioning out enough to make 12 truffles.
- In a small bowl, add dark chocolate chips and 1/2 tsp coconut oil and microwave until melted. Dip each ball into the melted chocolate. Sprinkle with the rest of the toasted coconut and refrigerate for the chocolate to darken.
Notes
- Store truffles in the refrigerator to keep them firm.
- These truffles can be rolled in extra coconut or crushed nuts for added texture.
