HappyMama - what's a healthy chocolate truffle?
Baked chicken for us tonight with broccoli-cauliflower with cheese sauce, rice.
They are made with dates, and nuts etc. I love, love love them. I make them for gifts. I will put the recipe in the recipe section if you think anyone would want.
Heavenly Chocolate Truffles
Ingredients:
1⁄2 cup almonds
1/4 cup walnuts
1⁄8 cup cashews
1.5 cup pitted dates, packed
3 tbsp cocoa powder
1⁄2 tsp pure vanilla extract
1⁄8 tsp sea salt
1⁄8 tsp almond extract
Directions: In a food processor, process the almonds, walnuts and cashews until fine but not flour. Add in the roughly
chopped and pitted dates and process until crumbly. Now add in the cocoa powder,
the vanilla & almond extract, and sea salt. Process until crumbly. Do not process long enough for
the mixture to get too sticky (like nut butter). You want to work the mixture a bit in your hands
to warm it up so you can form a ball with it. If you process it for too long, it will become oily.
