Ingredients & Substitutions
I love using Medjool dates because they’re naturally sweet and caramel-like, which really helps to bind everything together. If you’re nut-free, sunflower seed vegan butter works great too! You can also play around with different coatings—sometimes I use shredded coconut for a tropical twist.
Tips & Notes
- •I like to keep my truffles in a glass jar in the fridge—they stay fresh for about a week, but honestly, they usually disappear much quicker!
- •If you want a little heat, try adding a pinch of cayenne pepper to the mixture for a spicy kick.
Recipe Variations
- •Sometimes, I add a tablespoon of chia seeds or hemp seeds for an extra nutritional boost.
- •If I'm feeling adventurous, I might mix in some orange zest for a refreshing citrus twist.
Storage & Freezing
Store these truffles in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week. You can also freeze them for longer storage—just let them thaw for a few minutes after taking them out before enjoying!
Frequently Asked Questions
