What You’ll Need:
- 1 cup raw nuts (I used 1/2 cup walnuts, 1/2 cup cashews)
- 1 cup Medjool dates (I soaked mine in warm water first to soften)
- 6 tbsp oats
- 1 tbsp chia seeds
- 1/4 cup cacao powder
- Juice from 1-2 large oranges
- Melted dark chocolate
- Orange zest & shredded coconut (optional for topping)
How to Make Chocolate Orange Truffles:
- Combine all the ingredients except the melted chocolate, orange zest, and coconut in a food processor until the mixture sticks together.
- Roll into balls and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Refrigerate while you melt the chocolate.
- Coat the truffles in the melted chocolate and place them back on the baking sheet.
- Garnish with orange zest or any other toppings.
- Freeze for about 30 minutes and enjoy! 🧡
Tips and Variations:
- Nut Alternatives: Feel free to experiment with different nuts like almonds or pecans.
- Sweetness: If you prefer a sweeter truffle, add a touch of maple syrup or agave to the mixture.
