Storage

We prefer to store these energy truffles in the freezer so that they stay better longer. Transfer the energy truffles to a baking sheet, making sure they aren’t touching. Freeze for at least 1 hour. Once partially frozen, transfer the balls into an airtight container or plastic bag and freeze for up to 3 months.

When you’re ready to eat: let them thaw on the countertop for 5 minutes and enjoy.

Ingredients

2 cups cashews raw
1 cup medjool dates pitted and packled
1 cup dried blueberries unsweetened
1/8 teaspoon sea salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon water
2 cups dark chocolate chips
3 teaspoons coconut oil
sea salt for garnish

Instructions

First, line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and set aside. Then, place cashews in food processor and mix until you’ve created a fine meal.
Add in pitted dates, dried blueberries, salt, vanilla extract, and water and process for 2-3 minutes. You will likely need to stop a few times to scrape the sides. Depending on how soft your dates are, you might need to add a teaspoon or two more of water in order to get your dough to loosen up a bit. It should be sticky my malleable.
Using a tablespoon scoop, scoop out dough and roll between the palms of your hands to form a ball. Repeat.
Place chocolate and coconut oiil in a microwave safe bowl and melt. Then using two forks, dip each blueberry ball into the chocolate and fully coat it. Set on a parchment-lined cookie sheet. Repeat to all balls and then place cookie sheet into the freezer for at least 1 hour.
