Date Truffles- Healthy Chocolate Flavored Truffles

It has been over four months since the Detox. Still eating mostly healthy. Trying to avoid any industrial and processed food, and mainly we feel better. I had already mentioned here that the Detox recipes about dinners and actual cooked meals were not entirely new to me. I cook pretty healthy anyway. The real change happened regarding sweets.

Both Dima and I prefer to eat food rather than just snacks, but after eating a meal we always need a tasty snack. And instead of chocolates bars, or chips, I make the healthy sweets we learned from the Detox.

The next recipe, date truffles, borrowed from Hagar Shefer’s “Clean-eating” app, but I changed it to suit our taste and to the products we usually have at home. And before you rush to rule out these truffles- try them. Dima claimed he did not like dates until he tasted these chocolate flavored truffles. He did not even notice that I put dates, so you have to try it!

Print Recipe

Serves: 12- 15 Cooking Time: 10 minutes

Ingredients

• 8-10 dates
• 1 cup of walnuts (120 grms ), you can use cashews / almonds / pecans or any other nuts you have.
• 5 tablespoons of espresso (I finally found out what to do with the decaf capsules.)
• 4 tablespoons of natural maple syrup / agave
• 4 heaped tablespoons of high quality cocoa powder

Instructions

1

Place all the ingredients in a food processor and grind until smooth. I use the Ninja blender that I have, but I admit, it is not strong enough, and I usually divide the mixture it into two, and grind each amount separately and then mix everything in a bowl.

2

Wet your hand with water and create chocolate balls.

3

Refrigerate for 20-40 minutes.

4

Before serving, you can sprinkle with powdered cocoa / ground coconut or colored candies.

Enjoy guys 🙂
