Maple-Raisin-Date Truffles
Author: 
Yield: 10 to 12 Truffles
 
Ingredients
  • 9 large Medjool dates, pitted
  • ⅓ cup raisins
  • ¼ cup raw unsweetened shredded dried coconut
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • Line a small baking sheet with unbleached parchment paper.
Instructions
  1. Put the dates, raisins, coconut and maple syrup in a high-performance blending appliance and process to the consistency of soft dough. Transfer the date mixture to a medium-sized bowl. Using a cookie scoop, spoon out a heaping tablespoon of the date mixture, and roll it into a ball. Continue in this manner to form 10 to 12 truffle balls.
  2. Put the cocoa powder in a small bowl. Roll the truffles in the cocoa powder until coated and place on the prepared baking sheet. Refrigerate 1 hour. Stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator, truffles will keep up to 3 days.
