Ingredients
10
medjool dates
seeds removed and halved
1/2
teaspoon
vanilla extract
1/4
teaspoon
almond extract
2
tablespoons
creamy almond butter
I used salted as well
1
tablespoon
coconut butter
2
tablespoons
unsweetened coconut flakes
2
tablespoons
dark cocoa powder
1/8
teaspoon
kosher salt
1/4
cup
almonds
finely chopped for rolling
Instructions
Combine dates and extracts in a food processor and process until coarsely chopped.
Add the almond and coconut butters and process until fully incorporated and mixture becomes smoother.
Add remaining ingredients except the chopped almonds and process until mixture is sticky to the touch and able to easily roll into balls.
Roll into tablespoon sized balls and set aside.
Put chopped almonds in a small dish and roll truffles into nuts. You'll have to sort of press the nuts into the truffle for them to stick.
Place on a plate and refrigerate for about 30 minutes so they firm up a bit.
Store them covered in the fridge.
