Truffle Filling:
- 1 1/2 cups Pitted Dates
- 2 tbsp Brewed Coffee
- 2 tsp Coconut Oil
- 1/4 cup Cocoa Powder
Chocolate Coating & Toppings:
- 1/2 cup Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
- 1 tbsp Coconut Oil
- Optional Toppings: Sea Salt, Chopped Pecans, Unsweetened Shredded Coconut
Instructions
- In a heat-proof bowl, add the dates and cover with hot water. Let the dates soak for 5 minutes to help them soften.
- Drain the dates then add them to the bowl of your food processor, along with the 2 tbsp brewed coffee.
- Process until the dates are broken down into small pieces.
- Next, add the coconut oil and vanilla extract. Process again until the date mixture becomes slightly smooth.
- Now, add the cocoa powder and process again! Stop and scrape down your bowl and then process again. This make take 2-4 minutes depending on your food processor. You are looking for a fairly smooth mixture.
- Now it’s time to roll our truffles! Prep a sheet tray with parchment paper and set out on your work surface. Also, grab a bowl and fill it with water to help keep the filling from sticking to your hands.
- Scoop out 1/2 tbsp of filling, wet your hands with the water and roll into ball shape, then place onto your parchment paper tray. Continue until all the truffle filling has been rolled.
- Next, pop the tray of truffle balls into the freezer to firm up for 15 minutes.
- Before you get the truffles out of the freezer, make the chocolate coating
- In a microwave safe bowl, add the chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave for 25 second intervals, stirring in between each interval, until the chocolate is melted.
- Get your toppings ready and set out next to the melted chocolate
- Pull the tray of truffle balls out of the freezer.
- Dip each truffle ball into the melted chocolate and using a fork, roll the chocolate around and then let some of the chocolate drip off before popping back onto the parchment paper. While the chocolate is still melty, add a sprinkle of your topping of choice.
- Continue with the remaining truffles until they are all coated and topped!
- Pop the truffles into the fridge to let the chocolate set up and harden for at least 10 minutes.
- Enjoy these little bites of chocolate goodness!
