Equipment

  • Food processor

Ingredients

  • 18 oz Medjool dates pitted (approx. 500g)
  • ½ cup smooth nut butter almond, peanut, or cashew; approx. 135g
  • 1 cup dark chocolate melted (approx. 180g)
  • Flaky sea salt optional, for topping

Instructions

  • Add the pitted dates and nut butter to a food processor. Blend for 2–3 minutes, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed, until a thick, sticky dough forms that holds together when pressed.
  • If the mixture is too firm for your food processor, add 1–2 teaspoons warm water or a little extra nut butter to help it blend.
  • Scoop the mixture into about 20 portions (roughly 1 tablespoon each) and roll into balls. Place on a parchment-lined tray and freeze for 10 minutes to firm up.
  • Melt the dark chocolate in the microwave or over a double boiler until smooth.
  • Dip each chilled ball into the melted chocolate, letting any excess drip off, then return to the lined tray.
  • Sprinkle with flaky sea salt while the chocolate is still wet, if using.
  • Return to the freezer for another 15–20 minutes, or until the chocolate is fully set.

Notes

  • If your dates are dry, soak them in warm water for 5–10 minutes, then drain well before blending 
  • You may have a little melted chocolate left over depending on how thickly you coat the truffles 
  • Store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 1–2 months 
  • Let sit at room temperature for a few minutes before eating for the best texture
