Hi friends,
This is part two of my healthy truffles blog, and this time we are going for the classic chocolate truffle. The base for these healthy truffles is always dates, then you add in nuts and flavouring as you fancy. I am a big peanut fan, so today I have used peanuts in the truffle base.
The last batch of truffles I made have been slowly eaten, before I go to the gym or before my partner goes for a run and they definitely give an energy boost and help us get through our exercise.
Ingredients:
15 dates, soaked in warm water
75g peanuts (you can use other nuts such as hazlenuts/ pecans if you don't like peanut)
50g coconut oil
2 tbsp cocoa
Method:
Blitz all of the ingredients together in a food processor, until all of the big lumps have gone/ the dough is a nice consistency.
Take a tablespoon of mixture and roll into a ball (if you dampen your hands before hand you won't get mixture stuck to you). You can roll the balls in a coating, such as cocoa powder or coconut if you want extra flavour, or just pop them on a plate and refrigerate.
Eat whenever you want an energy boost or as an alternative to mid afternoon biscuits and chocolate!
