Raw Vegan Lemon-Nut Chocolate Truffle (Copycat Larabar Variation
- Ready In:
- 25mins
- Ingredients:
- 4
- Yields:
-
24 Truffles
- Serves:
- 12
ingredients
- 1 cup dried dates
- 3 cups nuts (Of Your Choice)
- 1 lemon (Zest and Juice)
- 4 tablespoons of organic raw cocoa powder
directions
- Chop or grind the nuts (I used a mixture of Walnut, Almond, Cashew, Hazelnut, and Pistachio) either by hand, in a food processor, or in a coffee grinder, depending on the coarseness you prefer. The finer you chop the nuts, the firmer the mixture will stay together.
- Chop the dates.
- Make zests and juice out of the lemon.
- Combine the chopped nuts, chopped dates, lemon zest and lemon juice either by hand, or in the food processor.
- Scoop the mixture base on the size of truffles you want to make, make them into little balls, and roll them in the raw cocoa power, set aside.
- The oil of the nuts will seep through the powder, and if you'd like, you can roll them in the raw cocoa powder again.
- Set aside, it is pretty much ready to eat immediately. I prefer to store them in room temperature. It seems to allow the oil of the nuts and the cocoa powder to incorporate better as they sit.
- Enjoy!
