Valentine Date Truffles Recipe
These vegan chocolate date truffles are easy to make, require only a few ingredients, and there is no baking required!
Ingredients
- 12-14 large Medjool dates
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup raw walnuts
- 1/3 cup freeze-dried strawberries
Instructions
- Soak dates in boiling water in a medium bowl for 5 minutes to soften. The dates should be fully submerged, so the amount will depend on the size dish you use.
- In a blender or food processor, pulverize the freeze-dried strawberries until they become a fine powder.
- Remove the strawberries from the blender and set aside in a small bowl.
- Blend walnuts first until they become finely ground in a blender.
- Make the chocolate mixture by adding the dates, 2 tbsp of the date-soaking liquid, and cocoa powder to the blender.
- Once the mixture forms, roll truffles into balls using either a tablespoon or mini ice cream scooper for consistency.
- Roll each truffle in the strawberry powder until completely coated, and enjoy this delicious recipe! Feel free to dust each coated truffle with more cocoa powder if you like.
- Bonus tip: You can enjoy these homemade truffles right away, but they are best after setting up in the refrigerator for 30 minutes up to a few hours on a parchment paper-lined plate or tray.
