Ingredients
  • 33 Medjoul dates
  • 1 cup Almonds
  • 1 cup Walnuts
  • 0.5 cup Chia Seeds
  • 0.5 clove Flax meal
  • 0.5 cup Peanut Butter (optional)
  • 0.25 cup water (from the dates)
Instructions
  1. 1

    Soak the dates in hot water for 30 minutes to soften.

  2. 2

    Drain the dates, keep 1/4 cup of the water, and remove the pips.

  3. 3

    Add the pitted dates, walnuts and almonds to a food processor and process until they form a paste. 

  4. 4

    If the mixture is too thick then add 2 tablespoons of water at a time until the mixture is well blended and forms a paste.

  5. 5

    Add the flex meal, chia seeds and salt to the food processor and pulse until well combined.

  6. 6

    It is okay if the mixture is a little wet, the chia seeds will start to soak up the moisture so feel free to set aside for 5 minutes while the chocolate is prepped.

  7. 7

    Melt the chocolate using ban bain-marie method and if too thick add a tablespoon of oil or butter at a time until the chocolate is loose enough to dip the truffles easily.

  8. 8

    Wet your hands, roll the mixture into small balls and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

  9. 9

    Dip each ball into the melted chocolate and bring them out using a fork.

  10. 10

    Gently place each one on a baking sheet and then place the baking sheet in the freezer for 10 minutes to firm up the truffles.

  11. 11

    Optional but sprinkle truffles with crushed pistachios or desiccated coconut.
