“Fudgy” Chocolate Truffles
Chocolate Truffles ( shh vegan and #healthy)
I made this from the things I had at home. The first time I made it it hurt my pocket a little because coconut oil can be expensive, but since you use so little of it it lasts a very long time which means in the end it is cheaper than going out and buying chocolate made with cane sugar and food coloring.
To buy the dates I use Publix because they have good and very cheap dates in the produce section ( last time it was 3.99!!) and again it will give me a couple of dozens of truffles so it is worth it. The cacao powder was a really good buy I paid about 2.99 for the small container and i feel it works just like the coconut oil buy it once and use for an eternity. I even use it for hot cocoa (when I'm not detoxing) its a healthier option than the chocolate powder because it doesn't have the additions (WHITE CANE SUGAR!).
For the last ingredient which is vanilla extract, this one is like the only ingredient we have in our houses regardless if we need it or not. No more talking more snacking!
Tools:
1. food processor + S blade

15 – 20 California
Dates pitted (depends on size use a cup to measure about 1 cup don’t press down)

a. The dates will stick to the sides and the
blade making it difficult to blend but with a spatula carefully press down and pulse
once more until you get the right consistency.
Place the ball in a bowl and scoop to the
size you wish

make about 12 truffles.
