Description
These truffles were my go-to when craving something chocolatey without the sugar crash. With sweet dates, rich cocoa, and a touch of dark chocolate, they deliver that indulgent taste in a wholesome way. Roll them in coconut, sea salt, or nuts—and you’ve got a treat that feels fancy, but takes minutes.
Ingredients
1 cup pitted dates
⅓ cup cocoa powder
⅓ cup dark chocolate, chopped
1 tbsp coconut oil (optional, for smoother texture)
Optional Add-Ins:
½ tsp flavored extract (raspberry, orange, coconut, or peppermint)
¼ cup flaky sea salt, shredded coconut, chopped nuts, or freeze-dried fruit for coating
Instructions
Soak dates in warm water for 5 minutes if dry, then drain.
In a food processor, blend dates, cocoa, dark chocolate, and coconut oil (if using) until smooth and sticky.
Add extract if using and pulse to combine.
Scoop and roll into bite-sized balls.
Roll in your favorite topping and refrigerate for 30 minutes to set.
