Did you love my pumpkin pie truffles from Thanksgiving?! If so, these Valentine’s Day Truffles are just as decadent and are the perfect Valentine’s Day dessert. The raspberries give the dough a pretty “pink” coloring and they’re packed with lots of healthy fat, fiber + protein and are only sweetened by dates. They’re also gluten-free, dairy-free, nut-free, refined sugar-free + grain-free so you can enjoy them and feel good too. Since I love making truffles + they’re so easy, I’m going to be creating “Little Adapts” truffles for every holiday this year. Stay tuned + don’t forget to tag me if you make them!
HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY MY LOVES!!!
- ½ cup raspberries
- 10 pitted medjool dates
- 1 tbsp coconut milk
- 3 tbsp coconut butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ cup coconut flour
- 2 dark chocolate bars or 1 cup vegan dark chocolate chips
- 1 tbsp coconut oil
- Handful of goji berries (2 per ball for decorating)
- Place raspberries, dates, coconut milk, coconut butter, vanilla extract + coconut flour into a high speed blender or food processor.
- Blend for 30 seconds to a minute until well combined and a dough forms. If it's too thick, feel free to add a splash of milk to get it going.
- Place the dough in a bowl. If it's on the warm side, cover the bowl and place in the fridge for 10-15 minutes.
- Place the dark chocolate + coconut oil into a glass bowl in the microwave and melt for 45 seconds to a minute + 30 seconds. Make sure to stop periodically to stir so it doesn't burn!
- Place parchment paper on a baking tray.
- Roll the dough into slighly smaller golf ball size balls + coat in melted chocolate and place on parchment paper. Place 2 goji berries on each ball to resemble a "heart".
- Place in the fridge for 30 minutes to harden and enjoy!
- Lasts in the fridge for 2 weeks or freeze for 1 month (I promise they won't last that long though!)
- *Note: You can use any non-dairy milk on hand if you don't have coconut milk.
With Health + Happiness Always,
Jax
