Ingredients
- 12 ounce pitted Medjool dates, about 1 1/2 cups
- 1/3 cup cocoa powder
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
Coating
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips
- 1 tsp coconut oil

Instructions
- First, add pitted dates, cocoa powder, vanilla and melted coconut oil to a high speed blender or food processor.
- Blend until mixture resembles a paste.
- Using a small cookie scoop, scoop balls of dough onto a parchment lined baking sheet. Roll dough between palms to create little spheres.
- Place pan in freezer for 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, add chocolate and coconut oil to a microwave safe dish. Microwave in 30 seconds increments until melted, stopping to stir between each increment.
- Remove pan from freezer. Using tongs, dip each ball of dough into melted chocolate until completely covered. Place coated truffle back onto the baking sheet.
- Continue for remaining dough. Sprinkle each with sea salt if desired.
- If desired, roll some balls of dough into cocoa powder instead of melted chocolate.
- Return pan to the freezer for at least 10 minutes or until chocolate coating has hardened.
Notes
- Blend mixture until mixture resembles a sticky paste. There should be no chunks of dates left.
- Freeze balls of dough until firm.
- Use dairy free chocolate chips to keep this recipe Vegan and Paleo.
- Melt chocolate and coconut oil in 30 second increments. Stop and stir between each. Mine took about 1 minute total.
- Freeze truffles until coating has hardened.
- Store in fridge for up to 2 weeks. Store in freeze for up to 2 months.
