Instructions
- Put the nuts in a food processor and whizz to a crumb-like consistency. Don’t worry if they’re not all the same size; they’re for the truffle coating, so different-sized crumbs will add character! When you’re happy with the size, tip them into a bowl and set aside.
- Throw the dates, orange zest, coconut oil and cacao powder into the processor and whizz it all together. If it gets stuck, use a spatula to push it down toward the blades again and give it another whizz. When it’s starting to stick together, squeeze in the orange juice and whizz again until it’s a nice sticky consistency that you can roll into balls.
- Get a baking sheet ready and wet your hands slightly so that the mixture is easy to roll into balls. Use a teaspoon to get a nice amount together and roll it into a ball. Drop into the nut crumbs and roll it around to coat. Set it on the baking sheet. Repeat to use all the mixture.
- Place the baking sheet in the fridge to chill for at least 30 minutes before serving.
