'Raw Food' Chocolate Truffles

I've been looking at raw food recipes lately and came across this one somewhere for truffles ... so I had a go and they taste pretty good!!!

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 !!!
