Healthy Chocolate Covered Cherry Truffles
These Chocolate Covered Cherry Truffles are healthy but delicious, and only require 5 ingredients to make!
- Prep Time: 60 minutes
- Total Time: 60 minutes
- Yield: 11 Balls 1x
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup Frozen* Cherries, thawed
- 1/2 cup Medjool Dates, Pitted
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 1 cup Oat Flour*
- 3/4 cup Vegan Chocolate Chips*
Instructions
- First, add the Frozen Cherries, Medjool Dates, and Vanilla Extract into a blender or food processor. Blend until everything is well-combined and there are no large chunks of fruit.
- Second, add in the Oat Flour to the food processor and pulse until a sticky dough forms.
- Use a 1 tbsp measure to scoop out portions of the dough, and place them onto a plate or small tray lined with parchment paper. The dough will be easier to handle if you wet your fingers for this step.
- Place the plate or tray into your freezer for 45 to 60 minutes, to allow the balls to harden.
- Melt 3/4 cup of Chocolate Chips using either a Double Boiler or the microwave, then dunk each “ball” into the melted chocolate mixture until it is well coated. Return to the parchment-paper lined tray, and allow the chocolate to harden before serving. Repeat with the remaining “balls.”
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week.
Notes
I would recommend the use of frozen Cherries over fresh ones for this recipe, as they become softer once they thaw and will blend easier into a smooth paste
If you do not have Oat Flour on hand, simply blend 1 cup of Quick or Rolled Oats in a high speed blender or food processor, until they have a fine consistency. This usually takes about 30-45 seconds.
I used the Enjoy Life Foods Dark Chocolate Morsels for this recipe.
