Ingredients

Scale

Caramel Filling





  • 1 cup pitted dates (or 12 dates)
  • 1 Tablespoon raw cocoa powder
  • 2 Tablespoon raw cashew butter
  • 1 Tablespoon tahini
  • 23 Tablespoon dairy free milk
  • 1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
  • Pinch of Himalayan pink salt

Chocolate Coating

  • 3/4 cup vegan chocolate chips (I use enjoy life semi-sweet)
  • 1 teaspoon coconut oil

Instructions



  • Add all the ingredients for caramel filling into a food processor and pulse until smooth and creamy about 5 minutes. Stop to wipe down the side of bowl with a spatula every minute or so. Keep Pulsing until the mixture is very creamy and well combined. Transfer to a bowl, and place in the freezer for 40 minutes.
  • With a spoon scoop out 1 Tablespoon amount of the mixture to roll into balls between palms of your hands, wet hands slightly with water if the mixture is sticking. Transfer to parchment paper lined plate and put back in freezer for 20 minutes to allow truffles to firm up again.
  • Make the chocolate coating: In a saucepan, melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil over low heat. Stir constantly until smooth. Remove from heat.
  • Remove the truffles from the freezer and dunk each ball into the melted chocolate one at a time. Roll them around to coat completely using a spoon to help coat the ball. Stick a toothpick in the top of each ball to lift out of the chocolate bowl and place back on the parchment paper.
  • Freeze the balls for about 15 minutes, or until the chocolate is set.
  • Eat and enjoy!
