Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 5.3 oz chickpeas (150 g)
  • 4.2 oz dates (120 g)
  • 2 tbsp cocoa powder
  • 2 tbsp peanut butter
  • Pinch of salt
  • 2 tbsp agave syrup

For Coating

  • 1/2 cup dry-roasted unsalted peanuts

Instructions

  1. Soften Dates: Soak the dates in hot water for 5 minutes to soften them, making them easier to blend smoothly into the mixture.
  2. Blend Ingredients: In a food processor, combine chickpeas, softened dates, cocoa powder, peanut butter, a pinch of salt, and agave syrup. Blend everything until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  3. Chill Mixture: Place the blended mixture in the fridge and chill for 20 minutes to firm up, which helps to shape the truffles easily.
  4. Form Truffles: Roll the chilled mixture into 16 to 18 small balls using your hands.
  5. Prepare Coating: Chop the dry-roasted unsalted peanuts into small pieces using the food processor, ensuring the coating is crunchy but not too finely ground.
  6. Coat Truffles: Roll each truffle in the crushed peanuts until fully coated, giving them a delightful crunchy exterior.
  7. Store and Serve: Store the coated truffles in the fridge until ready to serve. Enjoy these healthy, chocolatey treats chilled.

Notes

  • Make sure to use dry-roasted unsalted peanuts for the coating to avoid excess saltiness.
  • Dates can be softened further by soaking longer if they are particularly dry.
  • Store truffles in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week.
  • You can substitute peanut butter with almond butter for a different flavor.
  • If you prefer a vegan and raw option, make sure the peanut butter and agave syrup are suitable for your dietary needs.
