Makes: 20 (2.5cm) truffles

Prepare: 10-15 minutes plus 1 hour chilling

Storage: Up to 3 days in an airtight container in the fridge or 1 month in the freezer.

Ingredients:

• 130g almonds (or you can use cashews, walnuts or pecans)
• 130-135g pitted Medjool dates
• 25g unsweetened cocoa powder or raw cacao powder
• 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
• pinch of sea salt
• cocoa powder/raw cacao powder and/or shredded coconut for dusting

1. Place the almonds in a food processor and pulse until crumbly, but still with a bit of texture. Add the dates, cocoa or cacao powder, sea salt and vanilla extract, and blend again..

2. With slightly wet hands, roll the mixture into 2.5cm (1-inch) balls. If the mixture is too sticky to handle, place in the freezer for about 15-20 minutes until firm enough to roll.

3. Lightly cover each truffle with your choice of dusting ingredient and place them on a baking sheet. Chill in the fridge for at least 1 hour before serving, if you can hold your temptation :-D

Enjoy!
