This could be made in the vitamix instead of a food processor. Looks really yummy.

Coconut Date Truffles Recipe

photo by recipe author

Servings: about 30 truffles (depending on how big you roll them)

Preparation Time: 20 - 30 minutes

1 cup dates, pitted

1 cup unsweetened coconut

2 tablespoons unsweetened dark cocoa powder

1/2 cup almond butter

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon nutmeg

2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

(additional unsweetened dark cocoa powder to roll truffles in)

Make sure all of your dates are pitted by cutting a slice in the date and pulling out the pits.

Place all of the ingredients (except the additional cocoa powder) in a food processor. Process until finely ground.

Place a small amount of cocoa powder in a shallow bowl.

Roll mixture into small balls, the size of your preference. I like to roll them into marble sized balls.

Drop 3 or 4 balls in the bowl with cocoa powder and roll around until coated.

Store dates chilled until ready to serve.

OPTIONS: Instead of rolling your truffles in cocoa powder, you can also use toasted almonds or unsweetened coconut!
