Here is the recipe...
Ingredients:
1/2 cup cashew nuts
10 dates (no stones) (I also added in about half a cup of raisins that I had)
1/4 cup cocoa powder
1 tablespoon of good quality peanut butter
1 pinch of sea salt
cocoa powder for dusting
1 tablespoon desiccated coconut
Method:
Place the cashew nuts into a food processor and pulse until
ground into a powder.
Add the cocoa powder to the food processor and mix until
combined and it resembles chocolate breadcrumbs.
Add the dates and a tablespoon of peanut butter and process
until thoroughly combined. The mix should resemble a dough.
Sieve the cocoa powder for dusting onto a plate.
Take a piece of the dough and roll it into a ball in the
palm of your hand. Then roll
it into the dusting powder. Repeat until you have used all
of the mixture … then enjoy !!!
This mix should make about 20 truffles - here are a few that I made ...
I tested one on Paul and he said it was really nice ... he didn't even realise it had 'healthy' stuff in it ! Yay - a success !!!
