Peanut Butter Truffles
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup peanut butter
- 4 pitted Medjool dates
- 1/3 cup almond flour
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Add your dates to a small bowl. Boil some water in a kettle and then pour it over your dates to allow them to soften for a few minutes.
- In a food processor, add the peanut butter and softened dates. Blend until a smooth paste forms.
- Transfer the peanut butter date paste into a bowl. Add the almond flour and stir to combine. You should get a soft, moldable mixture. If the mix is too sticky to mold into balls, add some more almond flour.
- Place the mixture into the fridge while you melt the chocolate.
- Melt the chocolate chips. You can use a microwave (30 second intervals, stirring in between) or over a double boiler (I just place a heat safe glass bowl over a small pot of boiling water).
- Prepare your truffle making station by getting a plate and covering it with a sheet of parchment paper (to prevent the chocolate from sticking to the plate).
- Mold the truffle mix into little balls. Then, dip each one in the chocolate. I like to use a spoon to help cover the entire truffle with chocolate. Then, transfer the truffle to the plate with parchment paper. Repeat until all the truffles are coated. Finish them off with a sprinkle of sea salt if you're feeling fancy :)
- Cool the truffles in the freezer until the chocolate sets. Enjoy! (Store your truffles in the freezer for best texture.)
