Pecan Date Truffles (Vegan, Paleo)
Report
These bite-sized truffles are delicious on their own, but they are downright addictive when coated melted dark chocolate. They remind me of pecan pie!

Ingredients
- 1 cup Medjool dates , pitted
- 1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1 cup raw pecans
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1 cup 70% dark chocolate chips , for coating
Instructions
- In a large food processor, combine all of the ingredients and process until a sticky dough is formed.
- Scoop the dough by rounded tablespoons and use your hands to roll into smooth balls. Place the balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper for easy removal.
- Place the tray in the freezer to set for 30 minutes.
- Melt the cup of dark chocolate chips (5 minutes in a 400F oven does the trick), and remove the baking sheet from the freezer. Roll each ball in the melted dark chocolate, then return them to the parchment paper to set.
- If you'd like to sprinkle some crushed pecans or coconut on top for decoration, be sure to do it while the chocolate is still melted-- it will solidify quickly on the chilled truffles!
- Return the chocolate truffles to the fridge or freezer until ready to serve.
Notes
- For a chocolate-filled variation, add 1/4 cup cocoa powder before processing the filling ingredients.
