Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups dried coconut pulp (leftovers from making coconut milk with 2 cups of shredded coconut)
- 13 Medjool dates, pitted
- 1 tbsp sunflower seed butter (or other nut/seed butter)
- 2 heaping tbsp cacao + 2tbsp for coating
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp sea salt
- 2 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
- 2 tbsp maple syrup (optional, depending on the texture)
Instructions
- Add the dried coconut pulp into your food processor and pulse a few times just to get rid of any big lumps that might have formed during the dehydration.
- Add the dates and a nut butter of choice and start blending.
- When there aren't any big chunks of dates left, add the cacao, cinnamon, sea salt, and vanilla extract and blend for 1-2 minutes, or longer depending on the strength of your food processor.
- For me, it needed a little bit of extra moisture so I added 2 tbsp of maple syrup but try to keep blending first and if it really seems too dry, add the maple syrup. A little goes a long way, you don¨t want it to be too soft.
- When the dough forms a ball, take it out of the food processor and roll it into small bite-sized balls.
- When done, add 2 tbsp of raw cacao powder into a small bowl and roll each truffle in it to cover it completely with cacao.
- Store in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
