Scale
Base Ingredients
- 1 cup soft Medjool dates (pitted and packed)
- 1 cup raw walnuts
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Optional Coating Ingredients
- Coconut shreds
- Cocoa powder
- Powdered sugar
- Chia seeds
Instructions
- Prepare the mixture: Add the pitted Medjool dates, raw walnuts, vanilla extract, and salt into a food processor. Process the ingredients until they combine and form a cohesive dough ball.
- Form the truffles: Divide the dough ball into 12 equal portions and roll each portion into a smooth spherical ball using your hands.
- Coat the truffles (optional): Roll each ball into your choice of coating—such as coconut shreds, cocoa powder, powdered sugar, or chia seeds—until fully covered for added flavor and texture.
- Store the truffles: Place the coated or plain truffles into a sealed container and store them in the freezer to keep fresh and firm. Enjoy chilled.
Notes
- Using Medjool dates provides natural sweetness and a soft texture. Substitute with other soft dates if needed.
- Raw walnuts add a rich, nutty flavor and healthy fats; feel free to replace with almonds or pecans.
- Vanilla extract enhances the flavor but can be omitted if unavailable.
- The optional coatings add variety, but the truffles are delicious plain.
- Store in the freezer for up to 2 weeks to maintain freshness and texture.
- These truffles are naturally vegan, gluten-free, and refined sugar-free.
