| Little innocent truffles, soon to be devoured |
Today I went to CCK's blog and found some 2-Ingredient truffles that I could eat! Ha ha! Success! Immediately, I ran to the food processor and grabbed the ingredients.
My finished product was............. well..........boring. I decided to spice things up a little and add a few ingredients. They turned out a lot more.... what's the word?......delectable or enticing. They are one of the most delicious raw (is sunflower seed butter raw?) desserts I've ever had. So delicious, I accidentally took a bite of the photo shoot. Oops.
Did I mention these are nut-free! They are! They're also free of gluten, soy, gums, dairy, and eggs.
So go ahead! Don't feel guilty about indulging in
2/3 c. dates, chopped and pitted
1 1/2 T. coconut butter
very scant 1/8 tsp. salt
1 1/2 tsp. vanilla
1 T. sunflower seed butter (or other nut or seed butter)
Optional: throw in some nuts or chocolate
1. Add the chopped dates to the food processor along with the coconut butter and salt.
2. Pulse until pebbly. Then add the vanilla and sunflower seed butter.
3. Pulse again until completely combined.
4. Form into balls or bars and freeze until hard. (I made about 9 balls)
Inquiry of the Day:
Do ever improvise if a recipe doesn't turn out the way you think it should?
One time, I tried to make fudge out of frozen tofu and sunflower seed butter. It didn't go so good. The fudge had a weird texture and taste. Wasn't fudge at all :(. Oh well, that just means there's room for improvement.
I often improvise my recipes. That is part of the fun :). These truffles look delicious! I will have to try asap!
ReplyDeleteYes, it is part of the fun. I like to improvise too, much to my family's chagrin. Ah, well, they'll just have to get used to it. ;)
DeleteI've got an avocado fudge recipe (look up Uncool Fudge) that might appeal to you! Avocados, cocoa powder, coconut oil, & sea salt
ReplyDeleteTruffles look great!
