Dark Chocolate Turmeric Truffles – Recipe

Description

Nut free turmeric truffles with a sunflower and date filling.  Flavored with turmeric powder and ground ginger and coated in extra dark chocolate.  A delicious, sweet, earthy dessert that is Paleo, Vegan and allergy free.

Ingredients

  • Medjool dates
  • raw sunflower seeds
  • 3xR Turmeric powder
  • salt
  • ground ginger
  • vanilla extract
  • dark chocolate

Coating

  • 3 oz 80-90% dark chocolate

Instructions

  • Add all filling ingredients to food processor.  Blend until the mixture becomes sticky and can be formed into balls.
  • Scoop out 1 heaping teaspoon of dough and roll into a ball.
  • Place the balls on a small pan or plate and stick in the freezer for at least an hour.
  • Next, melt the dark chocolate.  Place chocolate in a small saucepan and melt on low heat, stirring frequently.
  • Once melted, individually dip the balls into the dark chocolate, coating completely.
  • Set truffles on flat surface and place in fridge or freezer to set.

    • Notes

    You may add a pinch of turmeric powder to the top of each truffle.  To do this, add turmeric powder right after dipping the ball - before the chocolate has a chance to set.
