Date Christmas Truffles

Makes 38 (1 tablespoon cookie scoop)

*30 Medjool Dates, pitted and covered with boiling water set aside for 10 minutes, drain

*3 tablespoons Cocoa Powder

*3 tablespoons Pure Maple Syrup

*1 cup Coconut Flour

*1 pinch Sea Salt

In a food processor add the dates, cocoa, maple syrup, coconut flour and salt. Pulse until dates are in small crumbles.

Remove mixture to bowl and scoop onto a Silpat/Parchment Paper covered 1/2 baking sheet.

Roll each scooped truffle in coating of your choice. (You can roll the truffle in a bowl of warm water and then shake off the excess water and then roll them in the chopped pecans or coconut. Do not roll the truffles with water when coating with sprinkles or sprinkles will take on color of the date truffles. Serve. Keep in the fridge any remaining truffles.)

Coatings:

Coat truffles as desired or:

*1/2 cup chopped Pecans, coats 13 truffles

*4 tablespoons Christmas Sprinkles, etc…, coats about 12 truffles

*1/3 cup Finely Shredded Coconut, coats 13 truffles

Recipe adapted from Sweet Peas and Saffron
