RAWmond Joy Power Truffle
(click on image to enlarge)
Appx 12 truffles
Reminicent of an Almond Joy, these truffles are a great pick-me-up and they take only 15 min to make! Kids love to make (and eat) these too! They are great to pack in a lunch or for travelling.
Ingredients
- 7 medjool dates, seed removed
- 2 tablespoons cacao (or carob) powder
- 1 teaspoon lucuma powder
- 1 teaspoon maca powder
- 1½ tablespoons raw honey
- 2 cups shredded unsulphered coconut
- 12 almonds
- goji berries, soaked 2 hours, (opt)
Preparation
In a food processor, blend dates, cacao/carob, lucuma, maca, and honey (add goji berries too if using). A ball should form. Then add coconut and blend again. This will form little chunks. Remove a tbsp size amount and roll into ball. Insert an almond in the center and seal the truffle around it.
That’s it! Easy Peasy! ;0)
(if you want to get more creative you can use a cookie cutter to shape the balls into something else)

Do these stay hard, unmelted in travel?

stRAWberry – I extrapolated on the coconut
jeshuabrown – I keep mine in the fridge and then when I want to use them I put them in a plastic bento container. They haven’t melted on me yet…but I am in upstate NY so it isn’t like I am 100+ degree weather. I haven’t put them to that test yet ;0)
