Dark Chocolate & Date Truffles

Rich and satisfying, these little balls of deliciousness will make you smile. Makes 24 Truffles.

Ingredients:
  • 1 bag or bar of dark chocolate (12 oz). I like Equal Exchange Bittersweet 70% Chocolate Chips
  • 2/3 cup raw cashews
  • 1 cup raw cashews, chopped, leave a bit chunky
  • 8 oz dates, finely chopped
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
  • Zest of 1/2 of an Orange
  • Optional: 1 tablespoon Grand Marnier or Orange Liquer 

To Make:
  1. Blend 2/3 cup of cashews with 2/3 cup of water on high for 30 seconds.
  2. Chop up 1 cup of cashews and set aside.
  3. Melt chocolate in a double boiler until just melted. 
  4. Fold together the blended cashew mixture, dates, sea salt, orange zest and orange liqueur.
  5. Refrigerate mixture until firm, approximately 45 minutes.
  6. Roll 3/4 inch balls in your hands and then into the chopped cashews.
  7. Refrigerate until ready to serve. (Truffles will keep in freezer for up to a month)
