No Bake Chocolate Truffles
Ready in less than 30 minutes, these no bake chocolate truffles are the simplest go-to dessert. High protein, gluten free and vegan, they're my top grab-and-go treat!
Servings: 12 truffles
Ingredients
- 1 cup of pitted medjool dates about 12 dates
- 1 cup of boiling water
- 1 cup oat flour or almond flour
- ½ cup creamy peanut butter
- 4 scoops chocolate collagen or protein powder can substitute with 4 tablespoon of cocoa powder and 1 teaspoon maple syrup
- 1 cup melted chocolate
- Topping: ¼ cup crushed candy canes or chopped walnuts
Instructions
- In a medium bowl add your dates and boiling water and set aside for 5 minutes (this step helps soften the dates to make them easier to blend).
- In a food processor or high powered blender, add oat flour, peanut butter, chocolate collagen, your soaked dates and about ⅓- ½ a cup of the date water (the water you soaked the dates in) and blend until smooth (you may need to stir periodically).
- Roll the mixture into 12 equal sized balls and place in the freezer for 5 minutes (use this as an opportunity to melt your chocolate).
- After 5 minutes roll the balls in your melted chocolate and sprinkle with crushed candy canes or chopped walnuts.
- Freeze until chocolate hardens and then store in an airtight container in the fridge!
