Nutty Chocolate Truffles
Makes: approximately 40
Prep time: 30 minute Chill time: 1 hour
1 cup brazil nuts, macadamia or cashews
1 cup almonds, hazelnuts or walnuts
1/2 cup nut butter or tahini
1/2 cup raw cacao powder
1/4 cup coconut oil, gently melted
2 Tbsp rice syrup
pinch Himalayan pink salt
Coatings
Desiccated coconut
Raw cacao powder
Freeze dried fruit powders
Matcha powder
Chopped nuts
Gently melt the coconut oil by placing into a heat proof bowl set over a pan of steaming water with the heat turned off. This ensures it isn’t heated above 46ºC and remains in it’s raw, nutritious state.
Place your combination of raw nuts into a food processor and blend until you have chunky crumbs. Add the rest of the ingredients, including the melted coconut oil, and blend until the mixture is well combined and comes together.
Roll teaspoonful’s of the mixture into small balls. If your kitchen is quite warm place them into the fridge to chill for 10 minutes or so before rolling in the coatings. This sets the coconut oil and allows the coatings to stick better.
Place your coating of choice into a small bowl and roll the chocolate truffles until evenly covered. Store the nutty chocolate truffles in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 4 weeks, or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
