Coconut Almond Truffles

June 9, 2014 By Garden Fresh Foodie

Almond TrufflesIf you’re making your own almond milk, or other nut milks, you’ll be left with pulp.  Don’t throw it away! It’s still filled with good stuff.  You could try making this recipe with un-“milked” almonds, just be sure to soak them for about 8-10 hours to get a better consistency. The coconut topping could be switched up. Try rolling these in crushed pistachios, chopped peanuts, or cashews.Almond Milk

Made 21 small truffles

Ingredients:

  • 1/4 c cashews
  • 3 tbsp raw cacao powder (or good quality cocoa powder)
  • 1 cup of almond pulp (left over from making almond milk), could try this with regular soaked almonds too
  • 5 dates, soaked in warm water for about 10 mins and pits removed
  • 1/4 tsp almond extract
  • 1 tbsp honey (or other sweetener of choice such as maple syrup)
  • 2 tsp cinnamon
  • Topping: 3 tbsp toasted reduced fat, unsweetened coconut, or other crushed nuts for completely raw dessert

*Note: could sweeten instead with a few drops of liquid stevia, but then add a tbsp of nut milk to create a moist enough texture to bring everything together

Instructions:

  1. Place all ingredients except coconut into Vitamix or other good blender
  2. Roll into balls and roll into toasted coconut or crushed nuts
  3. Freeze and enjoyAlmond Truffles With Toasted Coconut
