Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 5.3 oz chickpeas (150 g)
  • 4.2 oz dates (120 g)
  • 2 tbsp cocoa powder
  • 2 tbsp peanut butter
  • Pinch of salt
  • 2 tbsp agave syrup
  • 1/3 cup dry-roasted unsalted peanuts

Instructions

  1. Soften Dates: Soak the dates in hot water for 5 minutes to soften them, making them easier to blend smoothly.
  2. Blend Ingredients: In a food processor, blend the chickpeas, softened dates, cocoa powder, peanut butter, pinch of salt, and agave syrup until you get a smooth, uniform mixture.
  3. Chill Mixture: Place the blended mixture in the refrigerator and chill for 20 minutes to firm up, making it easier to shape into balls.
  4. Form Truffles: Roll the chilled mixture into 16 to 18 even-sized balls using your hands.
  5. Prepare Peanut Coating: Chop the dry-roasted unsalted peanuts into small pieces using the food processor. Then roll each truffle in the crushed peanuts to get a crunchy coating.
  6. Store and Serve: Place the finished truffles in the refrigerator and store until ready to serve. Enjoy these healthy treats chilled.

Notes

  • For a nut-free version, substitute peanut butter with sunflower seed butter and use seeds instead of peanuts for coating.
  • Make sure the dates are pitted before soaking.
  • You can store the truffles in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week.
  • Chilling the mixture is crucial for easier rolling and better texture.
