Makes: About 10

  • 8 large Medjool dates, pitted
  • ¼ cup raw cashews
  • 3 heaping tablespoons chopped walnuts
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened shredded dried coconut
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder

Line a small baking sheet with unbleached parchment paper.

Put the dates, cashews, walnuts, and coconut in a high-speed blender and process to the consistency of soft dough.

Transfer the date mixture to a medium 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 coated and place on the prepared sheet.

Refrigerate for 1 hour. Covered tightly and stored in the refrigerator, leftover truffles will keep for about 3 days.
