Aimie, do you have recipe measurements for yours? I would LOVE to try that too!
How many truffles does this recipe make?
Hi Kim,
I would love to share the measurements! I experimented in my kitchen for a friend recovering from cancer, she was craving sweet and spicy so I gave it a shot trying to get as many super foods in the mix as I could. They turned out amazing, the only downside was that she had to share
5 dates
1 Tbsp chia powder
1/2 cup almonds
1/2 walnuts
2 Tbsp cocoa ( you could sub with carob)
2 Tbsp coconut
2 Tbsp Hemp hearts
1 tsp cayenne
1 tsp turmeric
Start by putting the dates in the processor ( I have used both a vitamix and a food processor, they both do a great job), then add the nuts. Once they are mixed into a thick, lumpy past add the rest of the ingredients and mix until desired consistency. Roll into 1″ balls and chill ( I ate them out of the bowl… so the “chill” part is really just a suggestion).
Since making this version I have doubled the cayenne and turmeric and still loved it though my toddlers prefer the tamed down version. Also, I have added 2 dried apricots and it gave it a nice extra bit of sweetness.
Enjoy!
Aimie
