Raw Chocolate And Date Truffles

• 10 medjool dates, pitted or 1 cup dates, regular
• 1/2 cup cocoa powder
• 3/4 3/4 cup nuts, of your choice pumpkin or 3/4 cup sunflower seeds, almonds
• 1/2 cup desiccated coconut, plus 1/2 cup for decorating
• 1/3 cup water

1. If using regular dates, you must soak them for at least 6 hours, or overnight then drain well.
2. Place the seeds and or nuts in to a food processer. Blend for a minute or so until a dense flour like consistency is achieved.
3. Add the remaining ingredients and pulse a couple of times until the ingredients begin to stick together, almost like a dough.
4. Use your hands to form small balls. Roll the balls in the remaining desiccated coconut to finish.
5. The truffles can be kept at room temperature, but I find they are best kept in the fridge.
6. Makes around 30 truffles. They will keep for 3-4 days.
