Recipe: Black Forest Truffles

Makes 16 truffles.

Did you know that the selenium in Brazil nuts supports proper functioning of the thyroid gland which is responsible for a healthy metabolism? True story!

Put in the food processor and pulse until finely ground:

• 1/2 cup raw unsalted pecans
• 1/2 cup raw unsalted Brazil nuts
• 2/3 cup pitted dates
• 1/3 cup unsweetened dried cherries
• 1/4 cup chia seeds
• 1/4 cup raw shelled hemp hearts
• 1/8 cup shredded unsweetened coconut

Pulse in until mixture becomes sticky:

• 1/4 cup unrefined coconut oil
• 1/4 cup Unsweetened Cocoa Powder

Form balls about 1 tbsp of mixture in size.

For an optional added health and flavour boost, roll the balls in 1/2 cup of toasted unsweetened shredded coconut...just like with our Cocoa Bliss Truffles

Place in the fridge to set for as long as you can hold off. Savour the deliciousness!

Namaste.
