Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 truffles
Ingredients
- 1 cup dates, pitted
- 1/2 cup almonds
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup peanut butter
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup shredded coconut
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 1 cup of pitted dates, 1/2 cup of almonds, 1/4 cup of honey, 1/4 cup of peanut butter, 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 1/4 cup of shredded coconut.
- In a food processor, add the pitted dates and almonds. Pulse them together until they form a coarse mixture. Make sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed to ensure everything is well combined.
- Once the dates and almonds are finely chopped, add the honey, peanut butter, and vanilla extract to the mixture. Process until everything is thoroughly combined and forms a sticky dough. You may need to stop and scrape down the sides a couple of times.
- Once the mixture is well combined, take a small amount (about a tablespoon) and roll it between your palms to form a ball. Repeat this process until all the mixture is shaped into truffles.
- After rolling the truffles, place the shredded coconut in a shallow bowl. Roll each truffle in the shredded coconut until they are fully coated. This will give them a nice texture and added flavor.
- Once all the truffles are coated, place them on a plate or in an airtight container. You can refrigerate them for about 30 minutes to firm up, but they can also be enjoyed immediately.
- Serve your no-bake honey nut truffles as a delicious snack or dessert. Enjoy the sweet and nutty flavors!
Tips
- Use fresh, soft dates for the best texture and natural sweetness
- If the mixture is too dry, add a little extra honey or peanut butter
- For a smoother consistency, process the ingredients longer in the food processor
- Experiment with different nuts like walnuts or pecans for variety
- Store truffles in the refrigerator for up to a week in an airtight container
- For a protein boost, roll truffles in chopped nuts instead of coconut
- Make sure to use a good quality vanilla extract for enhanced flavor
- If the mixture is too sticky, chill it in the refrigerator for 15 minutes before rolling
