I made some pretty fabulous and healthy treats Saturday night in preparation for Valentine's Day. I couldn't possibly keep something so delicious to myself so I've decided to share the recipe. I know they'll be a big hit at the office. They'll also make a nice surprise in my son's lunch.
Raw Vegan Truffles
8 oz dates
1/2 c. almond butter
1/2 c. cranberries (apple juice sweetened)
1/2 c. almond meal
1 Tbsp sesame oil (or other healthy oil)
zest of one lemon
1/8 -1/4 tsp salt
2 Tbsp cocoa
2 tsp stevia
Blend the first seven ingredients together in a food processor. Mix cocoa and stevia in small bowl. Roll date-almond mixture into bits size balls with your hands. Roll balls into cocoa mixture. Cocoa will soak up oil from ball. If desired, let sit overnight in fridge and roll a second time for a more dusted cocoa look.
Enjoy!
