Ingredients You Need for Toasted Coconut Almond Truffles [Vegan]

  • 3 cups pitted medjool dates (soaked in boiling water for 20 minutes, then drained).
  • 2 tablespoons melted coconut oil
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup coconut flour
  • Pinch flaky sea salt
  • 2 cups dark chocolate chips
  • 1/4 cup melted coconut oil
  • 1 cup shredded coconut
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped almonds

How to Prepare Toasted Coconut Almond Truffles [Vegan]

  1. In a food processor, add soaked/drained dates, coconut oil, and maple syrup. Process until creamy and a thick paste forms.
  2. Add cocoa powder, coconut flour, and sea salt. Process into a thick and sticky dough. Refrigerate for 20 minutes. Take 2 tbsp of dough and roll into a ball. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining date mixture. Freeze for 20 minutes to firm up.
  3. While the truffles are in the freezer, toast the coconut. In a small skillet over medium-low heat, add the coconut and constantly stir to evenly toast. Once golden brown, transfer to a small bowl. Add the chopped almonds and stir to combine.
  4. Melt the chocolate and coconut oil in the microwave in 30-second intervals. Set aside.
  5. Take the balls out of the freezer. Use a fork to carefully dunk each ball into the melted chocolate. Puncture one side of the truffle with a toothpick (like a cake pop) and use that to sprinkle on the coconut and chopped almonds all the way around the ball. You can hold the toothpick and truffle in either styrofoam or even a piece of fruit like an apple (place in a cup to stabilize it).
  6. Once all the truffles are coated in chocolate and coconut mixture, transfer to the freezer to set for an additional 10 minutes. Store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 months.
