These can be kept in the freezer for a handy sweet snack or dessert that defrosts really quickly.
We always recommend using organic ingredients wherever possible.
- 75g Ground or whole almonds
- 75g Tiger nuts
- 2 Large Dried Figs
- 2 Dates (ideally medjoul)
- 2 tbsp Cocoa powder
- 1 Medium Orange
- 1 tbsp Coconut oil
Optional Chocolate Coating
The outer chocolate coating is optional but gives the full 'truffle' feel or experience if you're trying to impress someone!
- 2 tbsp Cocoa powder
- 3 tbsp Coconut oil
- 2 Dates
- Mix dry ingredients in a nutri-bullet, blender or similar; figs, tiger nuts, almonds & cocoa powder
- Place the coconut oil and dates in a pan on a low heat to soften the dates.
- Wet ingredients; Blast the orange in a blender on it's own, then add the softened warm dates and coconut oil mix. Then mix again in the blender.
- Finally add the dry mix to the wet mix in the blender or in a bowl and mix to make a truffle style consistency. Add ground almonds to add thickness until your desired consistency.
- If not making the chocolate coating, dust in cocoa powder to 'seal' the wet balls to give then a non-sick outer coating.
- Pop them in the fridge.
Chocolate coating:
- Melt the coconut oil in a pan on a low heat. Add the dates to soften and mix together by hand in the pan.
- Mix the softened date and coconut oil with the cocoa powder and mix in a small electric grinder to make a smooth chocolate liquid.
- Dip the balls in the chocolate mix and place on a tray to put in the fridge to cool and harden.
Enjoy!
