Ingredients
  • FILLING
  • 1 cup toasted hazelnuts
  • ½ cup dates (about 8 Medjools), pitted
  • 4 tbsp water
  • 1 tbsp almond butter
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • TRUFFLE
  • 1 cup dates, pitted
  • ¼ cup semisweet chocolate
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil
  • 1½ tbsp cocoa powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • COATING
  • ¾ cup toasted hazelnuts
Instructions
  1. For the coating: In your food processor, add in hazelnuts and pulse to your preference or to the size of the pictures shown. Set the grinded nuts to a small bowl and set the bowl aside for coating later.
  2. For the filling: In your food processor, add in hazelnuts. Pulse a few times until the nuts resemble a coarse meal. Add in dates, water, almond butter, and salt. Pulse ingredients together until it forms the consistency of mouldable cookie dough. With your hands, mould into 24-26 balls.
  3. For the truffle exterior: In your food processor, add in dates, semisweet chocolate, coconut oil, cocoa powder, and salt. Pulse until the mixture becomes a mouldable mass, similar to the consistency of the filling. Roll the truffles into 24-26 balls, flatten, and wrap each truffle around the filling to create ferrero rocher!
  4. Coat each truffle with the prepared grounded hazelnuts.
  5. Enjoy immediately, or keep in the refrigerator for up to 1-2 weeks.
