Gluten & Dairy Free Chocolate Truffles

January 27, 2021 by Samantha Leave a Comment

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe
Gluten & Dairy Free Chocolate Truffles! These lusciously rich and delicious bites are a healthier version of your classic chocolate truffles. They’re free from gluten and dairy but do not compensate on flavour or texture. Created with juicy mejool dates, rich Dutch process cocoa powder, a hint of coffee and creamy coconut oil.
You will easily create these in your food processor, it’s much a simple recipe, just like bliss balls! The mixture is quite soft when you roll them into balls and that’s why they need refrigerating before you roll them in the cocoa powder.

I used Dutch process cocoa powder for these truffles as it offers a rich cocoa flavour. If we want to replicate the classic chocolate truffles which are created with cream and melted dark chocolate, I highly recommend using this type of cocoa powder. It also works beautifully with the fresh and juicy medjool dates. They offer that yummy creamy ganache texture. 
Are you ready to get your hands covered in cocoa powder? Let’s go! Enjoy 🙂
