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.

This is the perfect drink for a hot summer day. If you are in the north east, like me you know these days are numbered, the leaves are already falling! It’s inspired by the Venezuelan drink, Tizana, which is made with chopped fruit and grenadine and can be spiked.
