Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups Medjool dates
  • 1/4 cup almond flour
  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder
  • 1/4 cup pecans
  • 1/4 cup full-fat coconut milk
  • 1/2 cup shredded coconut

Instructions
 

  • Pulse the pecans in a food processor until broken into small pieces.
  • Add the dates and blend until a sticky paste forms.
  • Transfer the paste to a bowl and mix in cocoa powder, almond flour, pecans, coconut milk, and a pinch of salt until combined.
  • With damp hands, scoop one tablespoon of mixture at a time and roll into smooth balls.
  • Roll each ball in shredded coconut until fully coated.
  • Place the truffles on a plate or in a container, cover, and freeze for 2–4 hours before serving. Enjoy!

Notes

Use Fresh Dates: If your dates feel dry, soak them in warm water for 5 minutes before blending.
Keep Hands Damp: Lightly wetting your hands while rolling prevents the mixture from sticking.
Chill Before Serving: The truffles taste best after at least a couple of hours in the freezer.
Batch-Friendly: Double the recipe and store extras in the freezer so you always have a sweet treat ready.
