Ingredients
- 10 pieces medjool dates, pitted
- 1 cup dried unsweetened cranberries
- 1 cup freeze-dried strawberries
- 1 cup raw cashews
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder (unsweetened)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 cup freeze-dried raspberries (for coating, optional)
- 0.5 cup unsweetened shredded coconut (for coating, optional)
Directions
Step 1
In a food processor, combine the pitted dates, dried cranberries, freeze-dried strawberries, and cashews. Pulse until the mixture comes together in a slightly sticky, crumbly paste. This may take 2-3 minutes of processing.
Step 2
Add cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and sea salt to the mixture. Process again until everything is well blended and the mixture forms a cohesive, moldable dough. Scrape down the sides of the processor bowl as needed.
Step 3
Using your hands, scoop approximately 1 tablespoon of the mixture and roll it into a ball. Repeat with the remaining mixture to form about 12 truffles.
Step 4
If desired, prepare the coatings: crush the freeze-dried raspberries into a fine powder in a resealable bag or using a mortar and pestle. Place the powder on a plate. Add the shredded coconut to another plate.
Step 5
Roll each truffle in your desired coating (raspberry powder or shredded coconut) until evenly coated, or leave them plain for a more natural look.
Step 6
Place the finished truffles on a plate or tray, and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to firm up before serving.
Step 7
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
