Ingredients

Almond Date Cocoa Truffles:

  • 1 cup lightly packed dates (preferably Medjool dates*)
  • 1/4 cup very hot water
  • 1 1/4 cups scooped and lightly packed Blue Diamond Almond Flour, Finely Sifted
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Coatings:

*Any variety of dates will work, but Medjool dates have the softest texture and caramel like flavor. They require a bit less liquid to soften than other dates.

Directions

    Almond Date Cocoa Truffles

    1. Place dates and water in the bowl of a food processor. Process to make a coarse paste, scraping down sides as necessary.

    2. Add almond flour, cocoa powder and extracts and process until fairly smooth, stirring as needed. (If mixture is too thick, transfer to a bowl and continue to mix with your hands.)

    3. Remove to a medium bowl and cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

    Coating

    1. Roll into 3/4-inch balls and roll or dip in desired coating. Store tightly covered in the refrigerator.
