Raw Chocolate Truffles

The raw diet is intriguing. My buddy Connie over at Ruby Reduction made some Raw Brownie Balls a few months ago and it piqued my curiosity. I would certainly like to eat more creations that are raw – if only they were this easy.

I am trying to add more raw options in my diet – including the obvious fruit and veg. Raw desserts appear to be fairly easy to make – and they all appear to be so delicious.

Now, on to these truffles. I was completely shocked at the outcome of these little suckers! They only take 5 minutes and are so much better for you than these ones (my fav’s).

I am making an alternate version (different recipe) of these truffles on the weekend – so we’ll see which ones come out on top.

Tip: I found Carob power in the health food section at the BulkBarn

Ingredients

1/2 cup of sesame seeds
1/2 cup raw pumpkin seeds
3/4 cup of medjool dates (8-9 large dates)
1/8 teaspoon sea salt
4 tablespoons raw carob powder

Directions

1. Add the nuts in a food processor and process until you can’t see the nuts anymore but before they get too soft looking.

2. Add the dates, seasalt and carob powder and process until everything is well mixed and clumped together.

3. Dump the mixture into a large bowl. Roll the balls in your hand and form balls. If you want, you can roll the truffles coconut for additional flavour – or just leave them as is.

Enjoy!
