These pretty, very tasty truffles are made from surprisingly healthy ingredients!

Preparation

Makes Approx. 12 Truffles.

Method

  • Soak the dates in boiling water for 5 mins and then drain. In a food processor, mix all the truffle ingredients together to form a thick paste, it should be sticky but not too sticky to handle.
  • Roll into walnut sized balls and chill until they are a little firmer.
  • Melt the chocolate and either dip the firm truffles into the chocolate to half coat them, or just drizzle the chocolate over the top of the truffles on a tray.
  • Best kept refrigerated. Eat within 1 week or freeze.
