When you bite through the soft chocolate shell coating and into the sweet and chewy center, you won’t believe these dark chocolate date & almond truffles are made from whole, natural ingredients like dates, nuts, and seeds. The mixture comes together quickly and easily in a food processor.
These healthy dark chocolate date & almond truffles defy all laws of chocolate. Healthy chocolate desserts usually taste like, well, like health food. But these truffles? They actually taste like a truly decadent treat. I know a ball made from dates and nuts running around calling itself a chocolate truffle takes a lot of guts. But… THIS IS REAL. And IT IS GOOD.
The secret is the Medjool dates. They’re often called nature’s candy, and for good reason: with their caramel-like sweet flavor and soft, chewy texture, they’re reminiscent of soft caramel candies. And they’re a miracle ingredient for making healthier treats and sweetening them naturally.

- 14 Medjool dates (about 300–325g), soaked in warm water for 10 minutes
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

- 1/2 cup (70g) roasted, salted almonds
- 1/2 cup (70g) raw sunflower seeds
Prep Time:
25 minutes
Total Time:
60 minutes
