Instructions
- Transfer the pitted medjool dates and cocoa powder to a food processor. Process (pulse or blend) until the dates and cocoa powder form small chunks. This might take a minute or two.
- Add in the melted coconut oil and process/blend until everything is combined and a thick, sticky mixture results. It's fine if there are still small pieces of dates left in the mixture!
- Using a rubber spatula, transfer the date truffle mixture out of the food processor and into a bowl.
- Refrigerate for 15 minutes. This allows the mixture to set up a bit so that it’s easier to work with.
- Roll the mixture into 14 to 18 truffle balls. If you’d like, roll each ball in cocoa powder, unsweetened shredded coconut, chopped walnuts or chopped pecans. Place the finished truffles on a plate or on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper as you finish them. These decadent truffles are ready to eat!
Notes
- *If you can only find deglet noor dates, they will work too but you will likely need to add more coconut oil, as these types of dates tend to have less flesh so they are slightly drier than medjool. They are also smaller than medjool dates, so go by weight (8 ounces) instead of number.
