Description
These truffles are a bright, healthy snack that tastes like a dessert, naturally sweetened with dates and spiced with cinnamon.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup grated carrots
- 1 cup pitted dates
- 1 cup shredded coconut
- 1/2 cup nuts (e.g., walnuts, almonds)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Preparation: Measure and prep all ingredients. Peel and grate the carrot if not already done. Pit the dates and roughly chop the nuts.
- Mixing: In a food processor, combine the grated carrots, pitted dates, nuts, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt. Pulse until the mixture is sticky and holds together, scraping down the sides as needed.
- Cooking: Scoop out small portions of the mixture using a teaspoon or small cookie scoop. Roll each portion between your palms to form smooth balls.
- Finishing: Spread the shredded coconut on a plate. Roll each truffle in the coconut to coat. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up before serving.
Notes
For best texture, chill the mixture for 10 minutes before rolling. Store in an airtight container for up to 10 days.
