Healthy White Chocolate Raspberry Truffles
Chocolate, decadent, but balanced with protein, healthy fats and fibre. These white chocolate raspberry truffles are the dreamiest healthy Valentine's Day treat.
Servings: 12 truffles
Ingredients
- 4 large medjool dates pitted
- ½ cup boiling water
- ½ cup frozen raspberries
- ¾ cup oat flour
- ¼ cup vanilla protein powder of choice
- ¼ cup shredded unsweetened coconut
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoon water
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup walnuts
- 2 tablespoon freeze-dried raspberries pulsed into a powder (optional for additional flavour see notes above)
- 1.5 cups Baker's white chocolate not white chocolate chips as they do not melt as well
- 1.5 tablespoon coconut oil
- ¼ cup freeze-dried raspberries crumbled, for topping
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 frozen raspberries, oat flour, protein powder, coconut, vanilla extract, water, salt, and walnuts (and freeze dried raspberries if using) 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).
- Melt your chocolate by placing white chocolate in a microwave safe bowl with coconut oil. Microwave for 30 seconds and stir. Repeat until chocolate is a smooth melted consistency.
- After 5 minutes, roll the balls in your melted chocolate and sprinkle with freeze dried raspberries or toppings of choice!
- Freeze until chocolate hardens and then store in an airtight container in the fridge!
