Raspberry Truffles

These raspberry truffles are brownie like in texture and don’t lack any of the fudgy texture we all love and crave in chocolate truffles!

Prep Time 20 minutes
Cooling Time 1 hour
Total Time 1 hour 20 minutes

Ingredients
  

Let's gather the ingredients!
  • 2 cups raw cashews
  • 1 ½ cups dates pitted
  • 1/3 cup almond milk
  • 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 8-10 ounces chocolate chips dark or semi-sweet
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 2 tbsp coconut oil
  • 1/3 cup raspberries fresh
  • ¼ cup shredded coconut for topping

Equipment

Instructions
 

Let's Begin!
  1. Place the dates in a small bowl and pour boiling water over them. Let them sit for 10 minutes, then drain.
  2. In a food processor, blend the cashews, softened dates, almond milk, raspberries, honey, and cocoa powder until well combined.
  3. If you have truffle molds, fill them with the mixture. If not, you can shape the mixture into small 1-inch balls. Place the truffle molds in the freezer or on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper for at least one hour.
  4. While the truffles are setting, place the frozen raspberries in a ziplock baggie. Using a rolling pin, gently roll them out to crush them slightly. Set them aside for garnish.
  5. In a small bowl, combine the coconut oil and chocolate chips. Microwave the mixture for about two minutes, or until the chocolate is melted. Stir well to combine.
  6. Dip each truffle ball into the melted chocolate, making sure they are fully coated. Place the coated truffles on a plate or parchment-lined sheet.
  7. Sprinkle shredded coconut over the top of the truffles.
  8. If desired, place a rolled-out raspberry on top of each truffle for an additional burst of fresh raspberry taste.
  9. Allow the chocolate to set and the truffles to dry.
  10. Once set, store the truffles in the refrigerator.
