Recipe: Easy Food Processor Chocolate Truffles
Recipe: Easy Food Processor Chocolate Truffles
This is for when you need a serious chocolate hit. It’s rich and fudgy. Eat one with your morning coffee, post-workout, or when you need a snack. My kiddos love these!
Lately, I have been putting half of the batter in a jar and storing it in a jar in the fridge (think Nutella). I put the other half of the batter in the freezer and store for later. This recipe was featured on justBobbi.

Ingredients:
2 cups dates, pitted, soaked
1/2 cup unsweetened coconut flakes, optional
2 cups almond flour
2 tbsp. Evolution_18 Afternoon Chocolate
2 tbsp. cacao powder or cocoa powder
2 tsp. vanilla extract, like Nielsen-Massey
1/4 tsp. sea salt or pink Himalayan salt
1 cup dark chocolate chips, 60% or higher*
1/2 cup boiling water
Instructions
In a medium bowl, soak the dates in just enough boiling water to cover them (about 1 1/2 cups of water from the kettle). Soak for five minutes and then drain them. A little water will actually make the “dough” smoother.
Place the coconut flakes, and almond meal in a food processor. Pulse a 3-5 times to break them down, and then add in the dates and process until it forms a cookie dough–like texture with not a lot of large chunks, about 30 seconds.
Add the rest of the ingredients, pour the boiling water on top, and process for about one minute until combined.
Scrape batter into a bowl and be careful of the blade. Let it sit in the fridge at least one hour, and then you can scoop into balls.*
Place balls on a lined rim baking sheet (with parchment paper). In a separate small bowl add one scoop of Afternoon Chocolate. Gently roll the balls into the mix to coat them.*
Freezer for up to one month. Let them come to room temperature for 10 minutes or eat cold as a delicious frozen treat.
Chef Carla Notes:
- You can find chocolate chips with little or no sugar. You can also find 100% chocolate bars.
- Using parchment paper helps keep down the mess. You can also place directly on a plate or clean surface as well.
- Use a small ice cream scoop to get them into perfect ball shapes.

Feliz Latinè Heritage Month! It’s celebrated September 15th through October 15th. I am a proud Latinè, my father is from Chile. I am excited to share my heritage through a paid partnership with Pinterest this month. One of the deepest ways I’ve connected with my Latinè heritage is by drinking ceremonial cacao daily. It’s a plant medicine that has been drunk for thousands of years by the Olmecs, the Mayans, the Toltecs, the Aztecs, the Incas, and other cultures. It’s known as a heart opener and it’s cracked mine wide open to opportunities and the potential of my life.
