Sprinkling the tops of these dainty, plant-based truffles with a little bit of unsweetened cocoa powder makes a classic finish! Pretty photos are by Annie Oliverio at UnrefinedVegan.com.
These really yummy truffles are so easy to prepare using just four ingredients! Plus, they are oil-free, gluten-free, and (of course), they are vegan! Serve ’em with a cool glass of dairy-free milk for a satisfying snack. You can watch me serve these tasty truffles to The Ambassador of The Great American Songbook, Michael Feinstein, in our “Vegan Treats and Plant-Based Sweets” show, now on YouTube, HERE.

ABOUT THE RECIPE:

I made these Coconut-Date Truffles for Michael Feinstein when we filmed his interview for the television show and he loved them! I know you’ll love them too.

Makes 12 TO 14 Truffles

2

INGREDIENTS:

6 large Medjool dates
3 heaping tablespoons raisins
2 tablespoons unsweetened shredded dried coconut
2 tablespoons raw sunflower seeds
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder

3

INSTRUCTIONS:

Line a small baking sheet with unbleached parchment paper.
Put the dates, raisins, coconut and sunflower seeds in a high-performance blending appliance and process to the consistency of soft dough. (Stop the machine and scrape down the sides of the blender container as needed.)

4

Transfer the date mixture to a medium-sized bowl. Spoon out a heaping tablespoon of the date mixture, and roll it into a ball. Put the cocoa powder in a small bowl.

Roll each truffle in the cocoa powder until completely coated and place on the prepared sheet. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving. Stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator, truffles will keep for about 3 days.
