Ingredients 

  • 12 medjool dates pitted and roughly chopped
  • 1 cup cashew butter
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 1 cup millet or rice puffs - separated in to two half-cup portions
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • 100 grams dark dairy-free chocolate If you're not dairy free use milk chocolate
  • 1 tablespoon cashew or almond butter
  • 1 teaspoon coconut oil optional to thin our chocolate
  • sea salt optional

Instructions

  • To make the caramel truffles, put the cashew butter, dates, ½ cup millet or rice puffs, vanilla extract and maple syrup in a food processor and blitz. Add 1 tablespoon of water if the mix isn't coming together. If necessary, add a dash more maple to get things moving.
  • When the truffle mix comes together in a ball, remove it from the mixer and put it in a large mixing bowl.
  • Add the other ½ cup of puffs and using clean hands, mix through.
  • Once combined, roll the mix in to balls - I use around a tablespoon for each.
  • Lay the balls on a tray covered with baking paper and pop in the freezer.
  • To melt the chocolate, set up a double boiler with a heat-proof bowl on top of a saucepan. Fill the saucepan ⅓ up with water and put on low-medium heat.
  • Add the chocolate to the heat-proof bowl and gently heat until melted, stirring. If using dark chocolate, add a spoon of cashew or almond butter and stir to combine.
  • Add coconut oil to thin out chocolate if needed.
  • One at a time, drop a caramel ball in to the melted chocolate, coat well and remove with a fork to remove any excess. Return to the freezer to set. Repeat.
  • Leave in the freezer for 10 minutes to set. Store in the freezer or the fridge in a covered container.
