Description
Healthy truffles made with dried figs, walnuts and coconut and topped with dark chocolate.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup dried Turkish figs (100g or about 6 figs), stems removed and sliced into thirds
- 1/3 cup unsweetened, shredded coconut (35g)
- 1/3 cup walnut pieces (40g)
- 1/8 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate (3oz)
- 1 tsp coconut oil
- flaked sea salt (optional)
Instructions
- Place figs, coconut, walnuts and salt in 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).
- Mold the filling into balls about 1 tablespoon in size, making 10-12 balls*
- Put the balls on a lined baking sheet or plate and place in the freezer for at least 30 minutes.
- Place the dark chocolate and coconut oil in a small sauce pan. Melt over low heat, on the stove top.
- Once melted, grab the truffles from the freezer. Dip the truffles, one at a time, into the melted chocolate and place them back on the parchment paper.
- Drizzle any remaining chocolate over the balls and add a pinch of flaked sea salt (optional).
Notes
*The filling is a bit crumbly. It doesn't quite roll into balls, but can be shaped into balls by pressing the mixture together. If you are having trouble forming the filling into balls, continue blending the mixture. If it still doesn't work you can add a tsp or two of water or honey and blend.
