Chocolate Chunk Truffles
In my clean-eating quest over the past year, I’ve discovered these beauties to be a game-changer…
I first experimented with making raw truffles (which are essentially nuts, dates and cacao powder) during the first Mamas on a Mission nutrition challenge.
Since then, I’ve loved testing out different combinations, usually all involving cacao. They’ve become my favorite clean dessert or afternoon snack whenever I’m in need of a pick-me-up.
This particular one was inspired by Flavor God’s chocolate donut seasoning, which is a heavenly blend of unsweetened cocoa, cardamom, cinnamon and nutmeg that somehow miraculously tastes like a CHOCOLATE DONUT (yep, you read that right 🙂 ).
So this, my fellow chocolate-lovers, is a recipe that’s been tested (and approved) especially for you.
Chocolate Chunk Truffles
Ingredients (makes 20 bite-size truffles):
- 6 dates
- 1 c. of walnuts
- 1 c. of pecans
- 1 tbsp. of coconut oil
- 2 tbsp. of cacao nibs
- 1 tbsp. of cacao OR 2 tbsp. of Flavor God’s gluten-free, vegan, Paleo chocolate donut seasoning, plus a little extra for topping
Directions:
In a food processor, blend the six dates and coconut oil until it’s a smooth paste. Add in the walnuts, pecans, cacao nibs and cacao powder (or “chocolate donut” seasoning) and grind until fully mixed.
Roll the mixture into bite-size balls and sprinkle with the reserved cacao powder or seasoning. Refrigerate for best results.
Goes great with a cup of tea or even your morning coffee on occasion. 😉
