Quickly prepared chocolate covered date and coconut truffles aren’t just amazingly tasteful but a great choice if you want to eat something sweet without indulging into refined sugars. This recipe contains only natural sugars in dates and a bit of maple syrup for the coating.
Dates are packed with energy, fiber, minerals and different vitamins and have a perfectly sweet flavor.
I’m sure you’re going to love these truffles just as much as we do. They quickly became one of our favorite sweet snacks!

TRUFFLES:
- 16 pitted dates

- 40 g coconut flour
COATING (same as for our Chocolate Covered Coconut Bars):
- 60 ml coconut oil or cacao butter (melted)
- 5 tsp 100 % cacao powder
- 1-2 tbsp maple syrup
INSTRUCTIONS:
Add pitted dates and coconut flour to the food processor and blend. Then add coconut butter and blend again until a sticky batter is formed.
Form the balls with your hands and place the truffles in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes.
