- ½ cup (80 g) raw almonds
- ¼ cup (25 g) cacao powder or unsweetened cocoa powder plus extra for rolling
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt
Instructions
- Place all the ingredients in a food processor and process for 2-3 minutes, or until a sticky dough ball forms.
- Roll 2 teaspoons of the mixture into balls and roll in the extra cacao to coat.
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge or freezer.
Notes
- Nutritional information is for 1 truffle when making 28. It does not include any toppings you roll your truffles in.
- While these truffles are made with healthy ingredients, they do contain a lot of sugar from the dates. Eat them in moderation!
