| Coconut Date Truffles Recipe |
| photo by recipe author |
Servings: about 30 truffles (depending on how big you roll them)
Preparation Time: 20 - 30 minutes
- 1 cup dates, pitted
- 1 cup unsweetened coconut
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened dark cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup almond butter
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- (additional unsweetened dark cocoa powder to roll truffles in)
Make sure all of your dates are pitted by cutting a slice in the date and pulling out the pits.
Place all of the ingredients (except the additional cocoa powder) in a food processor. Process until finely ground.
Place a small amount of cocoa powder in a shallow bowl.
Roll mixture into small balls, the size of your preference. I like to roll them into marble sized balls.
Drop 3 or 4 balls in the bowl with cocoa powder and roll around until coated.
Store dates chilled until ready to serve.OPTIONS: Instead of rolling your truffles in cocoa powder, you can also use toasted almonds or unsweetened coconut!

Hi, and thanks for this wonderful recipe. I have a question regarding the coconut that is sitting behind the truffles in the submission photo. How did you get that straight cut all the way around that coconut? Is that a real coconut? It almost looks like a bowl, and I would really want to buy some, if it is. Thanks for your time. Peace
