Ingredients

The following ingredients have 24 Servings
  • 1 cup Medjool dates (, pitted)
  • 1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 1 cup raw pecans
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1 cup 70% dark chocolate chips (, for coating)

Instruction

  • In a large food processor, combine all of the ingredients and process until a sticky dough is formed.
  • Scoop the dough by rounded tablespoons and use your hands to roll into smooth balls. Place the balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper for easy removal.
  • Place the tray in the freezer to set for 30 minutes.
  • Melt the cup of dark chocolate chips (5 minutes in a 400F oven does the trick), and remove the baking sheet from the freezer. Roll each ball in the melted dark chocolate, then return them to the parchment paper to set.
  • If you'd like to sprinkle some crushed pecans or coconut on top for decoration, be sure to do it while the chocolate is still melted-- it will solidify quickly on the chilled truffles!
  • Return the chocolate truffles to the fridge or freezer until ready to serve.
