Date Truffles Madgooga Recipes

3-INGREDIENT CHOCOLATE DATE TRUFFLES {VEGAN, PALEO, NUT-FREE}

Steps:

• Place the dates in a small bowl; add enough boiling water to just cover the dates. Let stand for 10 to 15 minutes.
• Drain the dates, RESERVING 1/4 cup (60 mL) of the soaking water.
• Place the dates, coconut flour, cocoa powder, 3 tablespoons (45 mL) soaking water and (optional) salt into a food processor. Pulse, stopping to scrape the sides and bottom, until completely blended to a smooth, yet very thick, paste.
• Using a small cookie scoop or teaspoon, divide the dough into 14 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball (they will measure about 1-inch/2.5 cm in diameter).
• The truffles can be enjoyed plain or rolled in coatings, such as cocoa powder, powdered sugar, finely chopped seeds or nuts, chopped unsweetened coconut flakes, natural sprinkles, cacao nibs, or Indian mukhwas.

DATE TRUFFLES (MADGOOGA)

Steps:

• Put all ingredients in a bowl.
• Grind the mixture with meat grinder finely.
• Shape the dates into small balls 2 cm in diameter with slightly oiled hand with vegetable oil (I like to shape them roughly so they are not so perfect balls).
• Roll the truffles in your selected coating and place on parchment paper or tray.
• Put the truffles in small decorative paper cups and arrange them in the serving plate.
• If you bought dates that are already ground and pitted, you don't need to grind them in the meat grinder, simply knead ingredients together by hand or you can grind it again by the meat grinder.
