Date Truffles

It's a Ramadan special delight, it's a date and chocolate combination, kids love it, not just eating but the helping out in preparing for Iftaar, and the added bonus is it is super quick to make.

Ingredients

Medjool dates (or any other soft date)  - 4 large
Almond powder - 200 gram (Ground Almonds)
Honey - 1 tablespoon
Coconut oil - 1 teaspoon
Cinnamon powder -  1/2 teaspoon
Vanilla - 1/4 teaspoon
Salt - pinch
Cocoa powder - 2 tablespoon

Date Truffles


Recipe
  1. Place all ingredients in a food processor and pulse to make a paste (add a teaspoon of water if the mixture is stiff)
  2. Spoon small amounts of the paste into the palm of your hands and roll into small balls
  3. Leave in the fridge for 15 minutes
  4. Roll in Cocoa powder before serving
Note: Don't use too much cocoa powder, I did the mistake (see picture), because too much cocoa tastes bitter.
