Adapted from Chimayie's
Makes about 10-15 truffles
10-15 good quality soft dates
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder + more to roll the truffles in
1-2 tablespoons of olive oil/coconut oil/rum/vanilla/honey (optional)
De-seed the dates and process in food processor with cocoa powder until a smooth paste is formed. If it’s too hard (depends on your dates) use a bit of oil/rum/honey to help it come together. I used 1 Tablespoon of coconut oil and a little honey, honestly dates are sweet enough, next time I will skip the honey.
Once done, scoop out a small amount with a spoon and roll it between your palm to make truffles.
If you feel the mix is too sticky, refrigerate for 15-30 minutes or rub coconut oil on your palms.
Roll them in unsweetened cocoa and store in an air-tight container.
These didn't last a day in my house...so good!
