Ingredients

The following ingredients have 12 Servings
  • 1 medium orange zested and juiced
  • 12 medium Medjool dates pits removed
  • 2 oz (57 gr) dried cranberries
  • 5 oz (142 gr) raw hazelnuts (or any raw nuts of your choice)
  • 1 oz (25 gr) raw cacao powder
  • 1 tsp coconut oil melted

Instruction

  • Line a plate or baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a medium bowl combine dates, cranberries and half of the orange juice. Let them soak for 10-15 minutes.
  • In a food processor (powerful blender) combine hazelnuts and the rest of the orange juice and process until nuts are finely chopped.
  • Transfer chopped hazelnuts to a bowl.
  • Process soaked dates, cranberries and orange juice for 1 minute.
  • Combine date-cranberry mixture with hazelnut mixture. Add cacao powder, coconut oil, orange zest and liqueur (optional). Mash everything together until a homogenous mixture is formed.
  • Using a small cookie scoop, scoop out balls from the dough, then roll them by hand and place on prepared baking sheet (plate) lined with parchment paper. Chill for 15 minutes.
  • Take out of the fridge and roll truffles in toppings of your choice. (I used cacao powder and Christmas sprinkles).
  • Keep truffles in an air tight container, refrigerated.
