HEALTHY CHOCOLATE ORANGE TRUFFLES

Posted On: 2023-07-14 12:58:35

Ingredients:

2 tbsp black chia seeds

60ml (1/4 cup) fresh orange juice

85g (1/2 cup) dry-roasted almonds, plus extra 1 tbsp finely chopped

2 tsp finely grated orange rind

200g medjool dates, pitted, coarsely chopped

45g (1/2 cup) desiccated coconut

2 tbsp cacao powder

150g dark chocolate (85% cocoa), chopped

Directions:

Combine chia seeds and orange juice in a small bowl. Set aside for 10 minutes to soak.

Process the almonds in a food processor until coarsely ground. Add the chia mixture, orange rind, date, coconut and cacao powder and process until evenly combined. Roll level tablespoonfuls of the mixture into balls.

Line a baking tray with baking paper. Place chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a saucepan of simmering water until melted. Place 1 ball in the chocolate and use a fork to roll the ball around until coated evenly. Use the fork to transfer truffle to prepared tray, draining off excess chocolate over bowl (use another fork to gently push the truffle onto the tray).
