Salted Caramel Date Truffles
These Salted Caramel Date Truffles are the perfect healthy dessert recipe.
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 cup tightly packed pitted* dates (about 16 dates)
- ¼ cup almond butter
- ¼ cup oat flour
- pinch salt
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon solid coconut oil can be unrefined or refined
- ½-3/4 cup chocolate chips or chopped chocolate
- flaky salt to taste
Instructions
- Add the first 6 ingredients to a food processor and blend until combined.
- Form 7 evenly truffles by grabbing a small handful of dough (about 1 ½ tablespoons), smushing it together, and then rolling into a ball.
- Add date balls to a sheet pan, cutting board or plate. Freeze for about 10 minutes.
- Melt chocolate chips by heating them for 3 30 second intervals in the microwave and stirring after each interval.
- Dip and cover each ball in chocolate and add back to your surface that you used to freeze the balls. Coat in flaky salt and freeze again for 10-20 minutes until chocolate has hardened.
Notes
*I recommend buying dates WITH the pits and removing them yourself. Dates with the pits left in are typically fresher.
