Salted Caramel Truffles
These Salted Caramel Truffles make the perfect after-dinner treat! They are so yummy and look amazing, your guests won't believe you actually made them.
Ingredients
- 1 cup macadamias
- 12 medjool dates use 14 if they are small
- ½ cup maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil melted
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract or vanilla paste
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
Chocolate coating
- 1/2 cup coconut oil
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1/2 cup cacao powder
Instructions
- Make the truffle mixture. Process the macadamias in a food processor until they resemble fine crumbs, next add the medjool dates, maple syrup, coconut oil, sea salt and vanilla and process until completely combined and smooth. Place mixture into the freezer until firm, approximately 30 minutes.
- Make into truffles. Remove from the freezer and roll the mixture into small balls and then place back into the freezer for approximately 1 hour (this will ensure that they are not too sticky when you are coating them in the chocolate)
- Make the chocolate coating. Melt the coconut oil in saucepan on low heat. Once melted, add the maple syrup, whisking until well combined. Then add the cacao powder, stirring well until well mixed through.
- Coat the truffles. Once the truffles are ready, coat in the chocolate mixture. I use either two spoons or a spoon and a fork to coat them in the chocolate mixture and drain off any excess.
- Allow to set. Place them back in the freezer for a minimum 10 minutes so that the chocolate sets. Keep stored in the refrigerator or freezer.
Notes
- Cook time does not include the time it takes for the truffles to freeze — approximately 2 hours, depending on the temperature of your freezer.
- You can keep stored in your refrigerator for up to 1 week or you can store in the freezer for up to 6 months. You will need to allow 15 minutes to thaw them out before eating.
