Healthy Chocolate Hazelnut Truffles Recipe

Instructions

1. Reconstitute pitted dates in a small bowl filled with warm water. Set aside to soak for 10-15 minutes.
2. Line a rimmed baking sheet with wax paper and set aside. Pour each selected coating, if using, onto a separate shallow, rimmed plate and set aside.
3. Add hazelnuts to a food processor and process until finely ground.
4. Remove the softened dates from bowl and drain off any excess water. Add dates and cocoa powder to hazelnuts in the food processor and blend until smooth, approximately 3-4 minutes. Scrape the sides, as necessary, to ensure mixture is thoroughly combined.
5. Tip: Add a few drops of water at a time, if necessary, to achieve a smooth consistency, but don’t add too much.
6. Add coconut flour, coconut oil, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt to the mixture and process until combined.
7. Remove the dough from the food processor and divide into 15-18 equal-sized portions. Roll each section of dough into a ball.
8. Roll your balls of date mixture into your selected coatings. The ones we suggested are just a starting point.
9. Once coated, place on your prepared baking tray and place in the refrigerator to chill for several minutes before serving.
10. Enjoy!
