Chocolate Date Truffle Balls

Ingredients

  • 20 Pure Palm Medjool Dates – pitted
  • 1 1/2 cup chopped pecans
  • 8 oz. semi-sweet chocolate

Step by Step Instructions

Step 1

Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Set aside.

Step 2

Soak your dates in water for about 5 minutes or until they soften up. Place dates in a bowl and mush until a moist dough forms.

Step 3

Once the dough is formed, scoop out 1 tablespoon of dough. Roll into a smooth ball and place onto a prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining dough and set aside.

Step 4

Melt your chocolate in a double boiler or the microwave (melt in 30 second increments stirring after each increment until completely melted and smooth). Allow the warm chocolate to sit for about 5 minutes to cool slightly before dipping.

Step 5

Dip each ball completely into the chocolate using a dipping tool, tap the tool gently on the side of the bowl to allow excess chocolate to drip off. Coat with pecans. Place each truffle back on the baking sheet and refrigerate until the chocolate has set about 30 minutes.
