Caramel Date Chocolate truffles
Caramel Date Chocolate Truffles Recipe
Yield: 10 larger truffles or 20 smaller ones
15 medjool dates, pitted and soaked
1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips of choice
1 tsp coconut oil
2-4 tbsp milk of choice (use as needed to help blend)
optional: 3 tbsp crushed nuts (almonds, peanuts, pecans, etc.)
Method
Pit and soak the dates in warm water for 15+ minutes so that they soft and are easier to blend.
Add dates to a blender and add enough milk of choice just to help them blend into a thick nut butter-like consistency.
Transfer the date caramel to a bowl and keep in freezer for 15+ minutes to harden.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Remove from freezer and form into 10 balls. Place them on the baking sheet. *NOTE: if you are adding nuts to the date caramel you can add them in during the truffle forming step.
Melt the chocolate chips with coconut oil for 30 seconds at a time in the microwave. stir the chocolate each time so it doesn't burn!
Once chocolate is fully melted, dip each truffle into the chocolate and place on baking sheet. Sprinkle a pinch of salt on the truffle and put back into the freezer until time to eat!
