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

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Soak dates in warm water for about 10 minutes.
  2. Layer parchment paper on a baking sheet and add coconut. Bake for 3-5 minutes on the middle rack.
  3. 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.
  4. Once the mixture is cool, form the balls with your hands, portioning out enough to make 12 truffles.
  5. 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
