Raw Chocolate Peanut Butter Truffles

Recipe inspired and adapted from Rachael DeVaux of @rachaelsgoodeats

 

Ingredients

Base Layer

  • 1/2 cup almonds 
  • 1/2 cup cashews 
  • 1/2 cup peanuts 
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup 
  • 1 tbsp water 
  • 1 tsp cinnamon 
  • 1/2 tsp ginger 
  • 3 tbsp hemp seeds 
  • Pinch pink sea salt

Filling

Chocolate Coating

  • 3.5 oz dark chocolate
  • 2-3 tbsp coconut oil 
  • Sea salt 
  • Pumpkin seeds


Directions

  1. Pulse all the base layer ingredients in a food processor until a dough like consistency forms.
  2. Press into the bottom of a loaf pan lined with parchment - you can spray/rub coconut oil in the parchment paper to make them even easier to pop out at the end. Place in freezer for 10 minutes and make filling. 
  3. In a small bowl combine the ingredients for the filling and microwave for about 20 seconds. Mix together and then pour onto the base layer. Set back into the freezer for an hour. 
  4. Take the loaf pan out of the freezer and cut the loaf in half, then inch strips and then into squares. 
  5. Melt the chocolate and coconut oil together and gently dip each square into the chocolate and set aside. Sprinkle on sea salt and pumpkin seeds. 
  6. Freeze for 1-2 hours. Enjoy!
