Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
• 2 tablespoons water
• 1 tablespoon coconut oil
• ¾ cup raw cashews
• 1 pound Medjool dates, pitted
• 3 tablespoons shredded unsweetened coconut
• ½ teaspoon espresso powder
• 8 ounces vegan chocolate chips (such as Enjoy Life®)

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Put dates, cashews, coconut, water, cocoa powder, coconut oil, and espresso powder in an oiled food processor; blend until evenly combined. Form mixture into balls using oiled hands. Arrange balls on a waxed paper-lined baking sheet; chill in refrigerator for 1 hour.

Step 2

Melt 1/2 of the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl for 30 seconds; stir and microwave again for 30 seconds until chocolate is mostly melted. Add remaining chocolate chips to bowl and stir until all the chocolate is melted.

Step 3

Rub hands with oil and dip balls in the melted chocolate; remove with a fork, allowing excess chocolate to drip back into bowl. Arrange chocolate coated truffles on the baking sheet. Chill for 1 hour.
