Carrot Date Coconut Truffles are a delicious and healthy treat, perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth while providing nutritional benefits.
Ingredients
Scale
- 200 ml water
- 190 g soft dates, pitted (approx. 12 large or 16–18 smaller, softened in hot water if needed)
- 1 medium carrot, grated (approx. 85 g)
- 70 g desiccated coconut
- 90 g walnuts
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 120 g white chocolate, melted
- 1 tablespoon liquid oil or coconut oil
Instructions
- If dates are firm, soak them in hot water for 5 minutes and drain. Peel and finely grate the carrot.
- Place dates, grated carrot, desiccated coconut, walnuts, honey, and cinnamon into a food processor. Pulse until the mixture resembles fine, sandy crumbs and begins to clump together.
- Remove mixture from processor and knead lightly by hand to bring together. Divide into 18 equal portions and roll each portion into a compact ball.
- Arrange truffles on a tray and refrigerate for 20–25 minutes until firm.
- Melt white chocolate with 1 tablespoon liquid oil or coconut oil until smooth and glossy.
- Dip each chilled truffle into the melted white chocolate, allowing excess to drip off. Place coated truffles on a parchment-lined tray.
- Chill coated truffles in the refrigerator until chocolate is fully set. Serve cold.
Notes
- For a vegan option, substitute honey with maple syrup.
- Store truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
- Feel free to customize the nuts used in the recipe based on personal preference.
