Christmas Spice Chocolate Truffles

Prep: 10 mins | Cook: 0 mins | Total: 10 mins | Quantity: approx 12

Ingredients

  • 1 cup (150g) sultanas
  • 1 cup (120g) nuts – I used a mix of cashews and walnuts
  • 1 orange – grated rind only
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 2 tblsp coconut butter or coconut oil
  • 1/2 cup (100g) dairy free chocolate chips or a bar of chocolate broken into smaller pieces

Optional coating:

  • Desiccated coconut / raw cacao powder / coconut sugar

Instructions

  1. Quite simply put all the ingredients into a food processor and whizz until it forms a sticky mass. This might take a minute or two of whizzing, don't worry if it looks too dry, it will start to break down and stick together. Just keep pulsing till it does!
  2. I find it easier to tip into a shallow bowl before rolling but that's up to you
  3. To make the balls, gather a clump of the mix and squish it tightly in your palm then roll between your two palms to get a round shape you're happy with
  4. When all your balls are formed, roll them in the coating of your choice or a mix of different ones!
  5. Store in an airtight container in the fridge
