Description
Healthy truffles made with dried figs, walnuts and coconut and topped with dark chocolate.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup dried figs, stems removed and sliced into thirds
- 1/3 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1/3 cup walnut pieces
- 1/8 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
Instructions
- Place the figs, coconut, walnuts and salt in your food processor. Blend, stopping every so often to scrape the sides until the mixture starts to clump and sticks together (this takes a few minutes).
- Shape the filling into balls, each about 1 tablespoon in size. You should get about 12 balls.
- Put the balls on a baking sheet or plate and place in the freezer for at least 30 minutes.
- Place the dark chocolate in a small saucepan. Melt over low heat, on the stovetop. (Or at 20-30 second intervals in the microwave.)
- Once melted, grab the truffles from the freezer. Dip the truffles, one at a time, into the melted chocolate and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet or plate.
- Optional: Drizzle any remaining chocolate over the balls and decorate with flaked salt, shredded coconut or sprinkles.
