Energy truffles are nothing new, right? This time, we suggest a recipe for dense, super chocolatey truffles, ready to satisfy the sweetest of sweet tooths.
And you know what else? They have no sugar spike, not a single processed food. Needless to say, they are the best ever. You can taste them and have a clear conscience.
Ingredients (for 12 small truffles):
10 soaked dates;
1 handful of skinless almonds;
1 handful of assorted seeds (sunflower, pumpkin and sesame);
3 tablespoons of raw cocoa powder;
1 tablespoon of coconut oil.
Preparation method:
Remove the pit and soak the dates for 30 minutes (minimum). Drain and wash the dates and place in a food processor along with the remaining ingredients. Grind until it forms a sticky ball.
Remove the dough and place it in the fridge for 30 minutes. Remove from the fridge and shape into small balls in the shape of a truffle/brigadeiro. Sprinkle in cocoa powder.
Serve with coffee or tea.
Note: These truffles last a long time in the refrigerator but can also be frozen.
