http://coconutoilrecipes.weebly.com/1/post/2013/07/date-truffles-coconut-oil-recipes.html

 You’ll need these:

·         1 cup Almonds
·         ½ cup Cashews
·         1 cup Desiccated Coconut
·         2 cups Dates (or equal amounts dates and raisins)
·         2 Tbsp. Cocoa Powder
·         1/3 cup Coconut Oil
·         Extra Coconut to roll in


Measure out your Almonds and Cashews and place in the food processor. Whiz on high for a minute or two until the nuts are a bit like the consistency of coarse, chewy breadcrumbs.

Once that’s done, add everything else except the coconut oil.Process again, a bit longer this time, until everything is combined,   nice and crumby, and you can press some together into a loose, crumbly   ball.    Eat the ball.  :)  (and possibly end up with delicious crumbs all down your front. Now add the coconut oil.

Just dump it in and whiz.  Keep it whizzing on high for about 2-3 minutes, or until all the oil’s mixed in and you can form a ball that holds its shape perfectly… at this point, it is no longer a ‘ball’.

It’s a truffle.

Sink your teeth into it.

Once your mixture is balling consistency, you get to do the fun part – rolling.
Pour a mountain of desiccated coconut into a small bowl or plate. 

Form Truffles from the mixture, roll in coconut.   Eat.
